Station coverage of TP4 FM 103.0MHz (4th Army Area) Trang, Thailand



Satthani Witthayu Krajaisiang Kong Thap Phak Thi Sii Changwat Trang (สถานีวิทยุกองทัพภาคที่ 4 จังหวัดตรัง) FM 103.0MHz (4th Army Area) is my favorite Thailand radio station. Although I don't understand Thai language very much, but I love this radio station because it plays music. TP4 FM 103.0MHz Trang, Thailand plays Thai Lukthung, and classic songs, however it plays some Thai new songs by relaying Bangkok 103 LIKE FM in selected hours.

I was used to receive this radio station in Langkawi before, then Alor Setar and part of Penang via tropospheric propagation from 2018 to 2019. I noticed this radio station overlapped RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz from Padang Pauh in Langkawi, some areas in Kedah and Penang, but these locations are not Perlis FM coverage.

Hereby I will list down the station coverage in Thailand and Malaysia.

==Thailand==
* Whole Trang province
* Southern Krabi: Khlong Thom District (Sai Khao) and Ko Lanta
* Part of Nakhon Si Thammarat province: Bang Khan District (Wang Hin & Ban Nikhom)
* Part of Satun province: Thung Wa.
* Part of Phatthalung: West Phatthalung

==Malaysia==
* Part of Langkawi

TP4 FM 103.0MHz Trang, Thailand can be received in Satun, and some locations in Malaysia within Kedah and Penang state via overspill signal.

TP4 FM 103.0MHz has 7kW ERP, the most powerful Trang radio station ever.

Overall coverage indicates that TP4 FM 103.0MHz can be listened in whole Trang province, some areas in Phatthalung, Krabi, Satun and Nakhon Si Thammarat, as well as some Langkawi areas in Malaysia. As I mentioned before, TP4 FM 103.0MHz Trang overspill its signal to Alor Setar, Guar Chempedak, Tasek Gelugor, and Bukit Tambun in Malaysia, but Perlis FM 102.9MHz was not receivable in Penang Seberang Perai at all.

I was used to receive this radio station in Phuket Island, however it is interfered by Mahogany VFM 103.0MHz from a district within the Island, back to November 2017. When I was at the cruise, I could receive this station at the sea (between Krabi and Phuket) too, but mono signal.
