FM DXing in Kerian district (PART 2): Melody FM 103.0MHz Gunung Ulu Kali received in Alor Pongsu, Bagan Serai, Perak (2nd September 2019)

After I bring up a video of receiving IKIM FM 102.7MHz from Bukit Genting in Parit Buntar, Perak on PART 1 of FM DXing in Kerian district, Perak post, now I'm going to start Part 2 of the article, it is also throwback DXing too, but different location within Kerian district, Perak.

Previously I had highlighted just now about my prediction of signal availability and condition of Perlis FM 102.9MHz and Melody FM 103.0MHz in Parit Buntar, Bagan Serai, Semanggol, Tanjung Piandang and Kuala Kurau, but here I have the receiving signal video of Melody FM 103.0MHz Gunung Ulu Kali in Bagan Serai, Perak. 

Throwback 2nd September 2019, while I was on the way going back from Alor Setar to Kuala Lumpur, I captured Melody FM 103.0MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali in Alor Pongsu, 34300 Bagan Serai, Perak on PLUS Highway.

According to the video, the signal of Melody FM 103.0MHz Gunung Ulu Kali in Alor Pongsu (Bagan Serai) was not really weak actually, its signal quality had same level as Gunung Kledang station which received in same location. No interference from Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh was detected, hence this shows that Perlis FM 102.9MHz from Padang Pauh is not receivable in Bagan Serai at all.

For your information, Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh transmission site height elevation is very low, it is build on a flat land with 11m height above sea level, meanwhile its overall height including tower is just about 71m. Perhaps Padang Pauh signal is completely blocked by Mount Jerai terrains between transmission site and Bagan Serai, so Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh has completely no signal in Parit Buntar and Bagan Serai (including Alor Pongsu).

By tuning FM 102.9MHz in Bagan Serai, basically it was full of static, but it has adjacent frequency noise from Melody FM 103.0MHz Gunung Ulu Kali in Bagan Serai when comes to high quality receiver. 

No adjacent channel interference from IKIM FM 102.7MHz Bukit Genting on FM 102.9MHz in Bagan Serai because 102.7 signal is quite weak there.

As FM DXing in Kerian district, Perak series in PART 1 and PART 2 are throwback DXing in the district, but PART 3 and above will be issued anytime once if I traveled there and videos are made on YouTube in the locations.

Kerian district is just sit beside Larut, Matang & Selama district, it is located in Northwest Perak, bordered with Penang (Nibong Tebal) and Kedah (Bandar Baharu). Here are the locations under Kerian district, Perak:

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

I will expand this series of FM DXing in Kerian district by launching more radio reception videos when I traveled the locations in the district one day after COVID-19 pandemic is completely solved.
