Unknown radio station AM 612kHz that I received in Malaysia is Vietnamese, the exact frequency is 610kHz. It is Voice of Ho Chi Minh (VOH-1)

 In July 2020, I recorded a radio signal footage on AM 612kHz at my home in Balakong, Malaysia at 1912H (UTC+8). I expected it was from Thailand, but it didn't sound like Thai, instead unknown language.


The language is likely within South East Asia region, likely Vietnamese. Until 2nd October 2020, I caught the station signal again on 612kHz and checked the database on Asiawaves.net, there is no any Vietnam radio station using 612kHz, but 610kHz.


The radio station on AM 610kHz is Voice of Ho Chi Minh City's People (VOH), it is transmitted from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam and operating at 200kW transmitter power.



In Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, VOH operates four radio stations, 3 on FM, 1 on AM (MW).


* VOH-1 AM 610kHz

* VOH-2 FM 99.9MHz

* VOH-3 FM 95.6MHz

* VOH-4 FM 87.7MHz


Hence, I already receive VOH-1 AM 610kHz signal in Malaysia (Balakong, Selangor).
