Vyezha was first heard in 2017, this station serves the Republic of Belarus and operates without a channel marker. While no message is being sent, often a carrier, or a 50Hz ground loop noise is present. It is the main channel in a network of three stations. All the messages sent on this network are proceeded by a 800Hz test tone (which often lasts upwards of 2 minutes) and one or more test counts. The test counts and test tones are sent sometimes up to half an hour before Monolit transmissions, and there are several of them throughout that time.
The traffic consists of Monolyth messages and multiple daily
test messages (usually 3-4 a day, sometimes more). Monolit messages
are transmitted simoutaneously on a voice and morse channel and
have either one, two or sometimes three 4-digit number groups per
codeword, which makes it different from other networks, which
usually have two groups per codeword only. The morse channel often
sends radiograms, network checks and Z-commands, which aren't
transmitted in voice. Morse transmissions usually start with a
series of the letter V 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.
The test messages are addressed to either the collective
callsign, or callsigns of single units. In January and February
2022, 14 recipients (besides the collective callsign) have been
heard in messages.
The frequencies and callsigns (both of the sender and recipients)
change throughout the year and are represented by the table

Very often, the message with the codeword "ВЕЖА 050#" can be heard on the network, where # corresponds to a difit from 1 to 6. The contents of the message do not change with the frequencies and callsigns - it remains the same throughout the year.
