Hot FM 92.4MHz, strongest and most powerful Kuantan transmitter from Bukit Pelindung, received in West Pahang.


Do you know? Hot FM 92.4MHz is the most powerful Kuantan radio station ever in Pahang state, transmitted from Bukit Pelindung.

Commonly Bukit Pelindung transmission is limited in Kuantan, Pekan, Gambang, Balok, Cherating, Kemaman, and Chukai, but Hot FM 92.4MHz from Bukit Pelindung somehow can be received in other Pahang areas such as Chenor, Raub, Temerloh, Bandar Bera and Manchis via overspill signal.

Back to 2019, I went to Chenor, Temeloh, Bandar Bera, Manchis and Raub. These locations are not able to receive any radio stations from Kuantan (Bukit Pelindung), except Hot FM 92.4MHz.

Surprisingly I could receive Hot FM 92.4MHz in Chenor, but it is in STEREO mode, but reception signal is not well as FM 97.6MHz Gunung Ulu Kali. (TECSUN PL-380 receiver) 


Alongside Chenor, actually Temerloh can still receive FM 92.4MHz, signal is not too bad. In addition, here are the videos of Hot FM 92.4MHz that I received in Bandar Bera, Raub, and Manchis.

2. RAUB
 

3. MANCHIS (Small town in Bentong district, not far from Negeri Sembilan Simpang Durian border)
 

Hot FM 92.4MHz Bukit Pelindung operates at 2kW power, but I believe it has higher antenna gain by having more bay array antenna at the tower which results higher ERP. So, it could overspill to Central and West Pahang, even some locations in Johor and Negeri Sembilan states.

Extra footage of Hot FM 92.4MHz which I received in Genting Highlands on October 2016:
 

In Johor, someone received Hot FM 92.4MHz in Simpang Renggam and Kluang from Kuantan.

 

Note that Hot FM 92.4MHz Bukit Pelindung transmission is facing co-channel interference with Mediacorp Symphony FM 92.4MHz from Singapore in Johor.
