Radio Republik Indonesia PRO-1 Bengkalis radio station FM 90.6MHz was available in part of Malacca and Johor, especially costal areas after the station gets increased its transmission power to 5kW since January 2016.
This radio station is also available in Negeri Sembilan, that is Tampin, where located nearby Melaka border. Currently Tampin is the only Negeri Sembilan area where can receive foreign radio station from Indonesia, reception is not too bad.
In Tampin, Gunung Telapak Burok radio stations which mainly for Seremban cannot be received, no signal there. Therefore, Tampin radio listeners must tune the radio stations from Gunung Ledang. Meanwhile Gunung Pulai reception is not clear there, but Singapore radio stations are almost having a bit signal. I was used to receive BBC Radio World Service 88.9 from Singapore there.
RRI PRO-1 Bengkalis FM 90.6MHz is the only Indonesia radio station which available in Tampin, Negeri Sembilan, but reception is not so clear. Not really clashed with Minnal FM 90.5MHz from Gunung Telapak Burok as Tampin cannot receive 90.5MHz.
Tampin listeners can get this Indonesian radio station on FM 90.6MHz from Bengkalis, Indonesia.
The reception of RRI Pro 1 Bengkalis FM 90.6 is actually not stable in Tampin as well as other parts of Melaka and Johor areas. I have tested the signal since 2016. Most of the time it is loud and clear. Only certain time the signal become weaker and suddenly disappear for a few minutes even along the coastal area from Pengkalan Balak to Batu Pahat maybe due to weather condition in the Straits of Melaka. There is also another Indonesian Radio from Bengkalis that can be received only along coastal area in Melaka and Johor that is Radio Swara Matra Wijaya RSMW FM 97.1. It is transmitted by a low power transmitter i think around 1 to 1.25kW but lately the signal become weaker sometime on and off. So far the the strongest signal detected for these 2 station is along the coastal area from Umbai Jetty (Jetty to Pulau Besar) to Kuala Merlimau in Melaka. Maybe in future you can go to these area and measure the signal using your Tecsun Receiver.
ReplyDeletei was used to receive RRI PRO-1 Bengkalis 90.6 in Port Dickson and Melaka, it was noisy.
