Malaysia Tropo DX: Tropospheric propagation of Gunung Kledang (Ipoh) radio stations, signals were caught in Puchong, Selangor on 4th November 2020 evening

 On 4th November 2020 Wednesday evening between 1740-1800 hours (UTC+8 Malaysia Time Zone), I caught few distant radio stations from Gunung Kledang signal in Puchong, Selangor, Malaysia with louder and slightly clearer reception such as:

* Hitz FM 92.7MHz

* Mix FM 94.3MHz

* Perak FM 95.6MHz

* 988 FM 99.8MHz

The signal of these four radio stations were received in Bandar Puchong Jaya where is not far from IOI Mall Puchong. 

 

According to the videos, 988 FM 99.8MHz reception is the clearest and most powerful in Puchong, following by Perak FM 95.6MHz, Hitz FM 92.7MHz and Mix FM 94.3MHz.

In fact, it is rare to catch Hitz FM 92.7MHz and Mix FM 94.3MHz from Gunung Kledang, Ipoh in Puchong, Selangor as they're not receivable at most of the time, however 92.7 and 94.3 are fully locked by Gunung Telapak Burok radio stations RTM Negeri FM 92.6MHz and Mix FM 94.2MHz respectively.

Hitz FM 92.7MHz from Gunung Kledang was receivable in Puchong, Selangor, but it was having adjacent channel interference from RTM Negeri FM 92.6MHz Gunung Telapak Burok at 100kHz frequency separation. Hence, you can hear Negeri FM interference noise on Hitz FM 92.7MHz through my footage.

Although Mix FM 94.3MHz Gunung Kledang was interfered by Mix FM 94.2MHz from Gunung Telapak Burok, but it was not serious because both are under same radio stations.

Perak FM 95.6MHz is only having few signal from Puchong Perdana to Bukit Puchong during non-tropospheric propagation, but it is receivable in Puchong Jaya.
