| Description |
"The Pip", known among Russian listeners as "Капля" (Kaplya; English: Drop), is a Russian military commandment network serving the Southern Military District. It broadcasts on 5448 kHz during daytime, changing to 3756 kHz for nighttime. While no other traffic is being sent, the station emits its signature channel marker. The traffic consists mainly of the following types of messages: Routine propagation checks, almost always addressed to ten units at a time (there have been instances of 9 or 11), identified by four character callsigns. Example: "Для 4РВЗ, 3ВСЬ, ДКЙ1, ЖД9В, 42БВ, 81БР, М7КС, ПМВ5, ЛЬГЙ, КЗИЬ, как слышно, как слышно? Приём" (Dlya [...] kak slyshno, kak slyshno? Priyom; English: For [...] how do you hear me, how do you hear me? Over). On most days there is a "dlya" style message between 18:00 MSK and 19:00 MSK. "Monolith" type messages addressed to either the collective callsign ЙВБ1 (JVB1) or, less commonly, to the individual units. The previous collective callsign 8C1Щ (8S1Shch) was in use for over 10 years, finally being changed at the beginning of 2021.
