The mast is located in the city of Guaíba, in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul, at 30°05′34.01″S 51°18′31.78″W / 30.0927806°S 51.3088278°W / -30.0927806; -51.3088278 (Radio Gaúcha AM Guaíba Mast). It is a 230-metre (755 ft.) tall, ground-insulated guyed mast radiator, and a nearly perfect replica of Warsaw Radio Mast.
