Radio Thailand Satun FM 95.5MHz received in Taiping, Perak, Malaysia after MCOT Satun FM 93.25MHz and Radio Thailand Satun FM 99.5MHz.

After a blog article where someone received Radio Thailand Satun FM 99.5MHz and MCOT Satun FM 93.25MHz in Taiping, Perak during Chinese New Year festive season on January 2020, now finally someone received another Thailand FM radio station from Satun in Taiping, Perak, Malaysia on the frequency 95.5MHz.


According to video by Kason Kong on YouTube channel, Radio Thailand Satun FM 95.5MHz is finally received in Taiping, Perak, Malaysia, I may believe it is the most difficult FM radio DXing ever, compare to FM 93.25MHz and FM 99.5MHz. 

It is same situation as other areas such as Kedah and Penang. Radio Thailand Satun FM 95.5MHz is using same transmitting location with 99.5MHz and MCOT Satun FM 93.25MHz where located in Khuan Khan hill, but the transmission of FM 95.5MHz is slightly weaker than 99.5MHz and 93.25MHz.

From my view, Radio Thailand Satun FM 95.5MHz signal availability in Taiping, Malaysia is very rare because FM 95.5MHz is Perak FM 95.6MHz Gunung Kledang adjacent noise in Taiping at the most of the time. Radio Thailand Satun FM 95.5MHz received in Taiping is considered a tropospheric propagation.

Based on the video, Taiping receives very little signal of Radio Thailand Satun FM 95.5MHz. Besides that, the adjacent channel interference from Perak FM 95.6MHz Gunung Kledang is still detected. 

Although RTM Mutiara FM 95.7MHz Bukit Penara has 200kHz frequency separation with Radio Thailand Satun FM 95.5MHz which Radio Thailand Satun FM 95.5MHz is facing interference from Mutiara FM 95.7MHz Bukit Penara if receive in Penang, but Radio Thailand Satun FM 95.5MHz has no interference noise from Mutiara FM 95.7MHz Bukit Penara in Taiping because RTM Mutiara FM 95.7MHz Bukit Penara is weak there, somehow Mutiara FM 95.7MHz is interfered by Perak FM 95.6MHz Gunung Kledang in Taiping.

The receiving distance between Radio Thailand Satun FM 95.5MHz and Taiping is 213km.

Moreover, compare with Radio Thailand Satun FM 99.5MHz and MCOT Satun FM 93.25MHz receiving signal condition in Taiping, Perak on January 2020, Radio Thailand Satun FM 95.5MHz is the weakest transmitter among all Satun radio stations (based in Khuan Khan transmitter site).

Apart from Taiping, I may predict that Radio Thailand Satun FM 95.5MHz will having some signal availability in other Perak areas following below, but I need to verify it by recording the signal if I go there in the future.

1. Parit Buntar
2. Tanjung Piandang
3. Kuala Kurau
4. Bagan Serai

These four locations are at Northwest Perak coastal areas, adjacent channel interference from Mutiara FM 95.7MHz Bukit Penara is expected when receive Radio Thailand Satun on FM 95.5MHz.
