Moscow Radio Centre 13, 300 metres mast left and 176 metres tower on the right

Moscow Radio Centre 13 is a transmission facility near Balashikha, approx.. 3.5 kilometers east of the ringbelt motorway of Moscow. Moscow Radio Centre 13 served at the communist ara as jammer of western shortwave radio programs and used therefore an antenna, which was installed on 7 guyed lattice masts with a cross beam.

As the jammer activity in the middle of the 1980s was ceased, it was used after March 14th, 1989 for transmission to the Lithuanian minority in Moscow area.

Further a 176 metres tall freestanding lattice tower for transmissions in OIRT-band was built. In 2005 on the station area a new mast for FM-broadcasting was built by the Russian company Stako.

This mast, the such called Balashikha Transmission Mast' has a triangular cross section with 3.6 meters side length and originally planned to reach a height of 460 metres tall construction guyed in 6 levels. However it has only a height of 300 metres and is anchored in 4 levels.

Meanwhile shortwave transmission was ceased at Moscow Radio Centre 13 and the shortwave broadcasting masts were dismantled between 2002 and 2007.
