If anyone can hear this, this is Bob Andersteen. My family and I have taken refuge in a drainage chamber not to far from a radio relay tower outside of DC. My boy is very sick and needs medical assistance, please help us if you can! We are listening for your response on 3,950 kHz.

There are seven drainage chambers and two sealed cisterns scattered around the Capital Wasteland in 2277. These are minor dungeons, and all are home to radio stations broadcasting Morse code (except Oscar Zulu and Yankee Bravo). The particular message is explained in a table on the page for signal Kilo Bravo. Many of the stations do not have a map marker but can be spotted by tower.

All have a transformer at the base of the tower with a switch to throw that starts the encoded broadcast, except Kilo Bravo, where the switch is inside WKML. The entry to the underground ham radio station will be nearby. It is possible to zero in on the broadcast, coming from the sewer grate or manhole cover, not the tower itself. They have a short broadcast distance of roughly 200 yards (183 meters).

At the edges of the broadcast, it is entirely static. At its source, there is no static and the signal can be heard clearly. Turning off the ham radio stops the transmission. It can be turned back on, in which case it needs to be selected in one's Pip-Boy again to hear it.

Signal stations[]

The numbers in [brackets] denote the drainage chamber's designation in the G.E.C.K. For example, signal Kilo Bravo is interior location FFRadioCache01 and its unique radio (with broadcasting script) is designated FFHamRadio01. The FFHamRadio records also show the signal names.

Notes[]

Even if one kills off all the ghouls broadcasting over signal Yankee Bravo, the ghoul's heavy breathing can still be heard over the radio.
