Melody FM actual frequency in Penang is FM 106.5MHz from Gunung Jerai, meanwhile distant transmitter FM 104.9MHz Bukit Larut is still receivable in Penang, but just having interference from Langkawi FM 104.8MHz Gunung Raya, notably Georgetown. In addition, Melody FM 98.5MHz from Gunung Kledang Ipoh has some signal in certain areas of Penang. Based on my listening experience, FM 98.5MHz can be listened up to Nibong Tebal, but weak signal.
Surprisingly, Melody FM 103.0MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali signal can be detected in some areas of Penang. Previously I was used to receive Melody FM 103.0MHz Gunung Ulu Kali in these areas below:
1. Nibong Tebal (237km)
2. Georgetown (272km)
3. Bukit Tambun (255km)
Moreover, a YouTuber named Senn Lens also receives Melody FM 103.0MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali at Penang Bridge and in Tanjung Sri Pinang. As Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh can be received in selected Penang Island areas because there is no terrains between Penang Island and Perlis which allows overspill transmission from Padang Pauh, therefore I may predict that Melody FM 103.0MHz Gunung Ulu Kali will be clashed by Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh.
From Gunung Ulu Kali to Tanjung Sri Pinang is 277km, meanwhile Padang Pauh to Tanjung Sri Pinang is 115km.
According to the distance of Perlis FM 102.9MHz and Melody FM 103.0MHz to Tanjung Sri Pinang, I may predict that Melody FM 103.0MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali will be interfered by Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh.
Inversely, I may expect Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh can be interfered by Melody FM 103.0MHz Gunung Ulu Kali in South Penang (Nibong Tebal) and Northwest Perak (Parit Buntar, Tanjung Piandang, Kuala Kurau and Bagan Serai).
==Melody FM signal condition in Penang (from best to worst)==
* 106.5MHz Gunung Jerai (Full signal)
* 104.9MHz Bukit Larut (OK)
* 98.5MHz Gunung Kledang (poor)
* 103.0MHz Gunung Ulu Kali (poor)
