The site possesses two longwave transmission aerial systems: a single 257-metre-tall mast radiator for 153 kHz, and a ring antenna system consisting of five masts arranged in a circle around a 275-metre-high mast for 261 kHz. The transmitter currently broadcasts "The Voice of Russia" radio station programmes.
