There was an article in WRTH about this facility about a decade ago
(i.e., the last time I bought a WRTH).  It's an electronically
steerable 12-tower array located outside St. Petersburg.  The actual
power was fairly low, by European standards -- only 100 or 250 kW.
But it's a 13-dB antenna!

The transmitter was last used for Voice of Russia broadcasts to
Scandinavia, if I remember correctly.
