FM 101.1MHz in Negeri Sembilan (Bukit Tampin vs. Bukit Gan)

FM 101.1MHz currently is a vacant radio frequency within Negeri Sembilan state, although it is unsuitable in Gunung Telapak Burok because interference to Selangor FM 100.9MHz coverage in Southern Selangor, but FM 101.1MHz is likely suitable to be used in either Bukit Gan or Bukit Tampin.

Bukit Gan is a new radio station transmission site for Seremban city, but coverage is very limited as it has lower elevation, meanwhile Bukit Tampin is the oldest TV and radio transmission site for Melaka before Gunung Ledang was set up in 1982/83.

Now radio spectrum is heavily congested much, so there were many private radio stations unable to expand coverage in Seremban. They don't want to expand coverage in Seremban by putting transmitter in Bukit Gan because coverage is super limited for Seremban and surrounding areas only, and also the commercial reason.

Formerly I did personal coverage research and proposal for Best FM to launch in Seremban on 101.1MHz from Bukit Gan, but I don't think Best FM will add Seremban frequency because the station mainly focuses on Johor market, Seremban is not the station's market.

Ignored too about FM 100.9MHz in Gunung Ledang as it is unsuitable because of co-channel interference with Selangor FM 100.9MHz in Melaka.

In my opinion, neglect about Bukit Gan, FM 101.1MHz is more suitable to work as "alternative" frequency or gap filler transmitter by locating in Bukit Tampin, actually FM 101.1MHz is suitable for RTM Minnal FM to be used in Bukit Tampin in order to solve interference issue in Melaka and cover blind spot areas within Melaka. The frequency FM 101.1MHz can be used by Minnal FM in Bukit Tampin as same frequency with Gunung Pulai 101.1MHz.

For FM 101.1MHz Bukit Tampin, RTM Minnal FM is more suitable than other radio stations.

    1. Kerana Minnal FM 103.3MHz Gunung Ledang diganggu oleh Era 103.3 Gn Ulu Kali di kawasan Melaka dimana adalah liputan Gunung Ledang, manakala penerimaan 90.5 kurang jelas di kawasan Melaka, kadangkala diganggu oleh RRI Bengkalis PRO-1 FM 90.6MHz. Oleh itu, saya mencadangkan RTM menambah pemancar alternatif di Bukit Tampin untuk Minnal FM di Melaka (101.1MHz), bagi menyelesaikan masalah gangguan 103.3 di Melaka.

    3. RTM tidak akan tambah frekuensi johor FM di Bkt Tampin untuk Melaka kerana Melaka bukan liputan Johor FM. Tambahan pula, Johor FM untuk negeri Johor sahaja.
