Singapore radio stations reception in Malaysia

Normally we can received radio stations from Singapore in Johor since their transmission power is higher than our radio stations transmission power. Singapore radio stations consists 6kW above, which can cover whole Singapore, Batam and most of Johor areas (up to Batu Pahat).

In 2012, when I went to Tampin, I tested the receptions of the radio stations from Johor Bahru and Singapore there, LOVE 97.2FM, Y.E.S. 933, Lush 99.5FM and Class 95FM can be received partially there, but crash with radio stations from Negeri Sembilan (Gunung Telapa Burok).

Here some radio stations from Singapore can be received partially in Melaka and some parts of Johor like Muar, Tangkak, Segamat, Pagoh, Labis, Jementah.

88.9FM- BBC World Service
91.3FM- HOT FM 91.3
92.0FM- Kiss 92FM
92.4FM- Symphony 92.4FM
93.8FM- 938 LIVE
96.3FM- Expat Radio 96.3XFM*
97.2FM- Love 97.2FM

* May be clash with Minnal FM 96.3MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali in Melaka.

All radio stations above can be heard some hissing sound from Gunung Ledang radio stations which has distance of 0.2MHz.

The other radio stations from Singapore like Y.E.S. 933, Capital 95.8FM, Gold 90.5FM, Class 95, Oli 96.8, Warna 94.2, Ria 89.7, POWER 98FM, 88.3JiaFM***, 987FM, Lush 99.5FM, and UFM 100.3** cannot be heard in some areas of North Johor and Melaka because radio stations from Negeri Sembilan (except UFM 100.3 and Capital 95.8FM) are using same frequencies with these radio stations, where Gunung Telapa Burok can cover most of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, even up to Melaka and North Johor such as Muar and Segamat.

**UFM 100.3 only can cover up to Johor Bahru, Pontian, and Kota Tinggi because it crashes with Ai FM 100.4MHz from Gunung Ledang, where covers North Johor and Melaka.

***883JiaFM transmitter site is in Defence Tower which only covers up to Central Johor.

#Capital 95.8FM only can cover up to North Johor until Muar, but it will crash with Negeri FM 95.7MHz from Bukit Tampin partially unless RTM close transmission of Negeri FM 95.7MHz in Tampin (which considered as "extra frequency"), and replace it with 107.7MHz from Gunung Ledang for Rembau, Tampin and Southern parts of Negeri Sembilan. Then, Capital 95.8FM can be heard partially in Melaka and North Johor like Muar.

If you would like to listen Singapore radio stations (only HOTFM 91.3, KISS 92FM, Expat Radio 96.3 XFM, Love 97.2FM, 938LIVE) in Melaka and North Johor, you need high antenna to received and direct it to the south.
