Another new FM DXing record in Malaysia: A Vietnam FM radio station on FM 93.1MHz is received in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia

As we notice that North Kelantan (Kota Bharu) can receive many Thailand radio stations from Yala (Khao Pokyo), Sungai Golok, Sungai Padi, Tak Bai and Narathiwat, meanwhile the furthest Thailand radio station that can be received in Kota Bharu is from Pattani.

Break the records.

The FM radio reception for this time is beyond Thailand radio station in Kota Bharu. Kelantan YouTuber Senn Lens receives a Vietnam FM radio station in Kota Bharu and Pasir Mas, Kelantan, Malaysia in the car, frequency is FM 93.1MHz.

Usually I only can receive Vietnam radio stations in Malaysia on AM/MW (mediumwave) or SW (shortwave) after evening. In the past, I was used to receive Voice of Vietnam AM stations in Malaysia such as VOV-1 711kHz, VOV-2 783kHz, VOV-4 873kHz and VOV-6 1242kHz from Can Tho, Vietnam.

It is very strange when Vietnam FM radio station can be received in Malaysia (Kota Bharu, Kelantan) because FM radio station propagation is limited to maximum 130 to 200km usually.

 

According to these videos, I check Vietnam radio stations database which assign on the frequency FM 93.1MHz, the nearest station is An Giang Radio and Television aka ATV FM 93.1MHz from An Giang Radio and Televison transmitter tower, Vietnam (62km from Can Tho). 

An Giang Radio and Television

An Giang is located in southern Vietnam, not far from Cambodia border and South China Sea.

Technically, there is no any terrains between An Giang, Vietnam and Kota Bharu, Malaysia, therefore An Giang Radio FM 93.1MHz from An Giang, Vietnam can be received in Kota Bharu and Pasir Pekan, Kelantan, Malaysia.
