Results of the first measurements of a VLBI structure of 0524+034 at 6 cm at the EVN+HartRAO in 1999 and recent broad-band spectra monitoring data are reported. We suppose that precession of the relativistic jet can be one of the possible mechanisms to account for the observed milliarcsecond structure and the strong long-term variations of the spectrum. The detected rapid changes may be interpreted as a propagation of a shock in the inhomogeneous jet plasma, but interstellar scintillations can not be ruled out on the basis of available data.
