Most operators repeat the signal 3 times ro ensure that the other station gets it correct. I understand your confusion, recently I have seen a station giving OMO as report, probably meaning that the signal was between M and O (or he was sponsored by a concurrent Dash, Ariel etc...). But under poor conditions this will only lead to confusion, so it is either OOO or MMM 73, Rik ON7YD PS : no need for spaces, so 'OOO' instead of 'O O O'
