Fly FM has 1 transmitter in Kelantan state, FM 107.4MHz from Peringat covers Kota Bharu and North Kelantan areas, meanwhile Fly FM has no any local repeater in South Kelantan due to no market value in the region, but Gua Musang actually can receive Fly FM on Klang Valley frequency 95.8MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali.
Fly FM is the most listening English radio station in Kelantan (mainly Kota Bharu), according to my friend from Kelantan.
Here are two videos of Fly FM 95.8MHz receiving signal in Gua Musang, Kelantan by Senn Lens. Thanks for publishing, these videos could be a reference and they're quite impressive.
The reception of Fly FM 95.8MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali in Gua Musang is not too bad, but with static, receiving distance is between 152-163km. In terms of signal availability, Fly FM 95.8MHz maybe only available in Gua Musang town, but 95.8MHz is not receivable in rural areas such as Felda Paloh (East Gua Musang) and Lojing, meanwhile Lojing areas where nearby Cameron Highlands border may receive Fly FM by tuning Ipoh frequency 87.9MHz from Gunung Kledang.
The signal is even clearer when listening to Fly FM in Gua Musang areas where are near to Pahang (Merapoh) border. According to Senn Lens, the signal quality of Fly FM 95.8MHz is getting better after leaving Gua Musang town while going southbound to Merapoh, Pahang. I watched the video, Fly FM 95.8MHz is even clearer in between Gua Musang town and Kelantan-Pahang border (Merapoh).
Other than Fly FM, I may predict other English commercial radio stations such as Hitz FM 92.9MHz, Mix FM 94.5MHz, and Lite FM 105.7MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali are still available in Gua Musang town of Kelantan, but the Klang Valley English business radio station, BFM 89.9 is likely unavailable because adjacent channel interference from RTM Radio Klasik FM 89.7MHz local repeater (Bukit Chupak) there, unless receive BFM 89.9 with high sensitivity radio receiver.
RTM Traxx FM, the government owned English radio station in Malaysia is the clearest English radio station in Gua Musang, Kelantan because Traxx FM has a low power repeater in Bukit Chupak on 94.9MHz.
If COVID-19 pandemic is lesser and interstate activities are allowed, I will plan to travel Gua Musang and perform FM DX activities there. Hence, I will share few radio reception videos to everyone.
