Signal Oscar Tango

Signal Oscar Tango is a radio transmission in the vicinity of Jury Street Metro Station. The large antenna tower near the station entrance can be turned on after unlocking the gate. Once the power is restored, it begins broadcasting morse code.

The signal equipment is in the nearby Drainage Chamber (shown in the photo on the right side of this page), which is accessed through a nearby manhole cover. This manhole cover is located almost directly due north of the tower, in the middle of the roadway. There is a protected sleeping chamber under the room with the radio equipment, which can be accessed by a wall switch opposite the radio. Accessing it can cause two common or garden variety raiders to spawn and attack once you enter the sleeping area. Also in the room, you can find Big Book of Science, Pre-War Book (worth 100 caps to the Brotherhood of Steel), two Stimpaks, Motorcycle Gas Tank, Motorcycle Handbrake, and several other small goodies.

Also located on one of the walls is an electrical switch, that if triggered opens up a pathway to a small area with dead bodies in it. Thus confirming that raiders were here because they are killed in a raider like fashion.

It appears that raiders detected the people who sent the signal. After torturing and killing them, the raiders deactivated the signal tower and took the chamber for their own.

Morse code translation:

CQ CQ CQ DE OT OT OT K

This translates to "calling anyone, this is Oscar Tango, over".
