Minnal FM 101.1MHz, the furthest radio station from Gunung Pulai received in Balakong, Selangor, Malaysia

In Balakong, Selangor of Malaysia, usually this location can receive radio stations from Gunung Ulu Kali, Bukit Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur Tower, UPM (Putra FM 90.7MHz) and Gunung Telapak Burok clearly, meanwhile Gunung Ledang and Bukit Gun (one FM 88.3MHz Seremban) radio stations have weak signal there.

Surprisingly, Minnal FM 101.1MHz was captured in Balakong, Selangor, Malaysia yesterday, the radio station was transmitted from Gunung Pulai, Johor. Among all Gunung Pulai transmitted radio stations, Minnal FM 101.1MHz is the strongest station ever.

I received Minnal FM 101.1MHz from Gunung Pulai in the car after I checked my car tyre pressure at Petronas gas station (nearby Taman Balakong Jaya), the distance is 255km from transmitter site. The radio receiver is Nissan Almera N17 Clarion CY23G OEM CD player.

I did try other radio receiver (non-car) such as TECSUN PL-380, no signal on FM 101.1MHz, instead adjacent channel interference noise from RTM Selangor FM 100.9MHz Gunung Ulu Kali and Kool FM 101.3MHz Bukit Sungai Besi. 

SINPO code: 12121

 

On November 2018, I was used to release an article regarding my suggestion to improve Minnal FM reception quality in Malacca by launching alternative transmitter in Bukit Tampin on FM 101.1MHz to solve co-channel interference issue in Melaka where Minnal FM 103.3MHz Gunung Ledang is interfered with Era FM 103.3MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali. If RTM launches Minnal FM 101.1MHz Bukit Tampin transmitter to cover affected areas in Melaka, the receiving signal of Minnal FM 101.1MHz in Balakong may be higher and less static than 101.1MHz that I receive now.
