description

The transmitter was put into operation from 1975 and expanded further until the end of the 1970s.

Today it is the most powerful radio transmitter for medium wave broadcasting in the world. It broadcast the program of the Foreign Service of the Voice of Russia on the frequency 1386 kHz , switched to the new frequency 1215 kHz in the 1990s and, with its nominal output of 1200 kW, is one of the most prominent radio stations in the medium wave range. The change to the new frequency was based on the legally valid assignment of the 1386 kHz frequency to Lithuania and the unsuccessful agreement between Russia and Lithuania to take over the old frequency by the voice of Russia.

16 self-radiating transmission masts with cage antennas , so-called ARRT antennas, are used as the transmission antenna. Each of these transmission masts in the facility is 256 meters high. The nominal frequency of the system is 1215 kHz, but it is also transmitted on the frequency 1116 kHz.

In addition to the medium-wave broadcasts mentioned, various programs are also broadcast in the OIRT band and in the CCIR VHF band .
