First heard in 2022, this station serves the Republic of Belarus
and operates without a channel marker on 4050kHz LSB all year
round. It relays messages sent on the Vyezha channel.
Voice broadcasts are usually preceeded by one or more counts.
Apart from Monolit transmissions, this station also does two-way
reception checks in voice, with stations answering calls on 3822kHz
LSB, 4099kHz LSB or 4113.5khz LSB. It is also the only station in
this network, which transmits radiograms and messages of three
letter groups starting with Z via the voice channel. Recipients of
radiograms are then usually asked to confirm its reception via a
"wire channel" - a phone line. The callsigns of this station and
its recipients change every day and are different for nighttime and
daytime. Since the start of the observations, they have never
repeated.
On this station the Monolit messages are read first in full
without phonetical spelling, and then once again with spelling and
with each digit read separately, as opposed to other stations which
read them as whole numbers. The 5-digit group in Monolyth messages
in voice is read in 3+2 digits pattern ("123+45"), instead of the
usual 2+3 ("12+345").
The transmissions by this station are very often distorted, which
is caused by the use of overloaded radio equipment. As a result of
this, the broadcasts also have very high power.
This station was transmitting on 4050 kHz LSB, but then it was
found on 4420 kHz LSB at November 2023 and on 4366 kHz LSB at
February 2024. As of November 2024, current frequency is 4420 kHz
LSB.
