(c) One or more indicators may be included with the call sign. Each indicator must be separated from the call sign by the slant mark (/) or by any suitable word that denotes the slant mark. If an indicator is self-assigned, it must be included before, after, or both before and after, the call sign. No self-assigned indicator may conflict with any other indicator specified by the FCC Rules or with any prefix assigned to another country." /R is a self-assigned indicator and 'R' is assigned by ITU to Russia. Mike WM4B P.S. There are a LOT of repeaters out there still signing /R.
