Review on Terengganu FM 90.0MHz in South Terengganu (Kemaman)

Terengganu FM frequency in South Terengganu (Kemaman and Dungun) is 97.7MHz, which transmitted from Bukit Bauk with 1kW trasmission power to cover Dungun and Kemaman, recently RTM established another frequency with low power transmission for Cherul area, that is 90.0MHz, which transmitted from Felda Cerul, Kemaman.

This transmitter only covers 10-15km from Cerul.

For better reception of Terengganu FM in South Terengganu (Kemaman and Cerul), RTM should locate its transmitter which is on 90.0MHz  in Bukit Pelindung, Kuantan to cover these areas, instead of locate in Felda Cerul. Just like Mutiara FM 93.9MHz from Gunung Jerai, Kedah to cover only North Penang; Negeri FM 107.7MHz from Gunung Ledang to cover only southern parts of Negeri Sembilan (Tampin, Rembau, Gemas and South Jempol); Melaka FM 102.3MHz from Gunung Ledang to cover Melaka state only.

 If RTM Terengganu FM 90.0MHz is located in Bukit Pelindung, Kuantan, I believed it only covers for South Terengganu only, and its reception in Kemaman district may be better, but Kuantan is only "secondary coverage", meanwhile other Pahang areas will not receive clearly (somewhat can be interfered with BFM 89.9 from Gunung Ulu Kali) as other radio stations in Kuantan.
