After performed FM radio reception test in Lanchang Pahang by detecting Nasional FM 106.2MHz signal, I suspected four possible transmission sites on that frequency. Lanchang, Mentakab, Karak or Fraser Hill?
Today, I began to make reception test of FM 106.2MHz around Klang Valley areas like Puchong, Kuala Lumpur (Bukit Jalil) and Seri Kembangan, I received Nasional FM 106.2MHz signal, but it is very weak.
In Klang Valley, the best reception site is Gunung Ulu Kali. After I have done the findings of the investigation, I find that Nasional FM 106.2MHz is transmitted from Bukit Fraser (Fraser Hill) with 0.5kW power.
For Pahang areas, Nasional FM 95.3MHz Gunung Ulu Kali is actually for Bentong, Karak, Lanchang, Lurah Bilut, Mentakab, Temerloh and Kemayan. It also can be received in Raub, and Lipis, but not all of the areas can't receive Gunung Ulu Kali signal clearly, even no signal due to covered by hills. Actually Raub and Lipis are considered as topographic areas, same with Jerantut and Balik Pulau Penang.
In order to have better reception for these affected areas (Raub and Lipis), RTM added a gap filler transmitter for Nasional FM in Fraser Hill on FM 106.2MHz technically, but generally because 14th Malaysia general election is coming, I also could think that RTM added Nasional FM 106.2MHz in Fraser Hill for likely government propaganda tools as Nasional FM is RTM main radio station, formerly Nasional FM was merged into Klasik FM, became Klasik Nasional.
Klasik Nasional was formerly RTM prime radio station, infotainment radio with Malay classic songs, also with propaganda. Hehehehhe! XD
After demerger of Klasik Nasional, Muzik FM frequencies were taken over by Nasional FM since 2012 during Tan Sri Dato' Seri Utama Dr. Rais bin Yatim era (former Information, Communications, Culture Minister). Nasional FM became RTM prime radio station after 6 years hiatus.
