Moments

On September 9th, 2026, the first monolith message was transmitted onto The Sweep with the callsign АВЖФ (AVZhF). Shortly after, on September 10th, 2026, there was a special message transmitted using no digit groups to celebrate the 1st anniversary of Charlie Kirk's death, with the message quite literally spelling out "АВЖФ КИРКИВЕРСАРИ" (AVZhF KIRKIVERSARI). Also on September 11th, 2026, there was a special message broadcasted to commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Shortly after the message, the station switched from it's signature "sweeping" channel marker, similar to the CODAR station, to a 3-tone beep.
