The WISE Catalog of Galactic H II Regions contains ~2000 H II region candidates lacking ionized gas spectroscopic observations. All candidates have the characteristic H II region mid-infrared morphology of WISE 12{mu}m emission surrounding 22{mu}m emission, and additionally have detected radio continuum emission. We here report Green Bank Telescope hydrogen radio recombination line (RRL) and radio continuum detections in the X-band (9GHz; 3cm) of 302 WISE H II region candidates (out of 324 targets observed) in the zone 225{deg}>=l>=-20{deg}, |b|1{deg} in the first Galactic quadrant, and therefore were missed in previous surveys of the Galactic plane. One additional region has a longitude and velocity consistent with the OSC but lies at a negative Galactic latitude (G039.183-01.422; -54.9km/s). With Heliocentric distances >22kpc and Galactocentric distances >16kpc, the OSC H II regions are the most distant known in the Galaxy. We detect an additional three HII regions near ~=150{deg} whose LSR velocities place them at Galactocentric radii >19kpc. If their distances are correct, these nebulae may represent the limit to Galactic massive star formation.
