Description Vega-33 (Вега-33) is the original recipient callsign of a Russian military commandment network serving the Southern Military District. Based in Rostov-on-Don, it operates on 5372 kHz during daytime and does not broadcast a channel marker nor has a night frequency ever been established. However, there is occasionally a continuous 800 Hz tone which typically only lasts between two messages; this tone is also sometimes heard briefly just before a transmission.

The station broadcasts "Monolith" and "Uzor" type messages addressed to N'ZhJ/НЬЖЙ (previously Vega-33), with the average code word length being noticeably longer than its sister stations Pip and Squeaky Wheel.
