Indonesia FM radio stations from Pekanbaru caught in Melaka, Malaysia.

In southern region of Peninsular Malaysia, we know that Johor can receive TV and radio channels from Singapore and Batam, Indonesia, mainly South Johor. 

For Melaka, also a state in southern region of Peninsular Malaysia, I may know Melaka can receive Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Bengkalis PRO-1 FM 90.6MHz, especially coastal areas.

Surprisingly there are three Indonesia FM radio stations from Pekanbaru detected in Melaka.

1. Radio Aditya FM 87.6MHz

2. Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Pekanbaru PRO-3 FM 89.2MHz

3. Smart FM 101.8MHz

The videos credit are given to Kelvin Lee, who is my DX friend from Melaka.

 

All radio stations are transmitted from Pekanbaru, Riau province, Indonesia. The clearest radio station is RRI Pekanbaru FM 89.2MHz, following by Radio Aditya FM 87.6MHz and Smart FM 101.8MHz.

 

Receiving locations are located in Melaka town, mainly Portugese Settlement Area (for Radio Aditya FM 87.6MHz) and Crystal Bay Alai Perdana (for Radio Atidya FM 87.6MHz, RRI Pekanbaru PRO-3 FM 89.2MHz and Smart FM 101.8MHz), distance range is between 205km-210km from Pekanbaru FM radio stations' transmitter site. 

 

In Melaka, FM 101.8MHz is usually a distant transmitter of MY FM from Gunung Ulu Kali which broadcasts for Klang Valley, somewhat MY FM 101.8MHz is having interference from RTM Johor FM 101.9MHz Gunung Pulai transmitter there, but it is very rare when Melaka receives FM 101.8MHz is Smart FM from Pekanbaru, Indonesia. 

 

This distant FM signal monitoring is very impressive and rare in Melaka.
