RON Leszczynka, Broadcast transmitter in Gmina Lesznowola, Poland.
RON Leszczynka is a broadcast transmitter facility located near Warsaw with multiple antenna systems mounted on wooden masts across the site. The installation includes various technical buildings and structures that were designed to support radio operations.
The transmission center was established in the late 1940s and began operations in 1950 with a shortwave transmitter. It served as a major broadcasting hub for several decades after its opening.
Radio Polonia programs transmitted through RON Leszczynka reached audiences across Eastern Europe and Western territories for over five decades.
The site is now primarily a historical location with no active operations that can be viewed from the outside. It is situated in a rural area south of Warsaw and is accessible by local transport.
Most of the transmission equipment and masts were dismantled in the 2010s, which completely changed how the site looks today. Only a few remaining structures remind visitors of when this was a fully functioning broadcast center.
