Manhole to drainage chamber where the source of PN signal is located

Radio Signal Papa November is activated with a switch on a transformer at the base of a broadcast tower located west of Charnel House. This location can be easily found if the Lone Wanderer starts at Smith Casey's garage and goes north-northeast up the hill to the military checkpoint (see Smith Casey's Garage for more info) with a sentry bot and follow the road leading to a fenced area which contains the broadcast tower. This is one of nine broadcasting drainage chambers.

The broadcast is in Morse code, as follows:

-.-. --.- / -.-. --.- / -.-. --.- / -.. . / .- .-.. / .- .-.. / .- .-.. / -.-

Translation of Morse code:

CQ CQ CQ DE PN PN PN K

This translates to "calling anyone, this is PN (Papa November), over".

The source of the signal is located within a drainage tunnel located to the northeast of the tower - essentially straight ahead out of the north gate, at the base of a small cliff face. Right next to the ham radio is the skeleton of a woman who died through violence.
