(E-skip DX) Voice of Vietnam VOV-3 FM 102.7MHz received in Langkawi? Overlapping IKIM FM 102.7MHz signal?

 

After Khánh Hòa Radio FM 94.20MHz was received in Langkawi by Saiful Izham DXer last week, today there is another Vietnam radio station received in Langkawi. It is Voice of Vietnam VOV-3 FM 102.7MHz from Bảy Núi (Núi Cấm), An Giang Province/

 

This E-skip DX propagation creates 2nd Vietnam radio station received in Langkawi, Malaysia, it is another rare signal catch actually.

 

In Langkawi, FM 102.7MHz signal is usually IKIM FM from Bukit Genting (Balik Pulau, Penang), but IKIM FM signal is now overlapped by Voice of Vietnam VOV-3 FM 102.7MHz from Bảy Núi (Núi Cấm), An Giang Province.

 

The transmitter power of VOV-3 FM 102.7MHz from Bảy Núi (Núi Cấm), An Giang Province is 5kW.

Other than Langkawi, I may believe Kelantan areas such as Tumpat, Kota Bharu, and Bachok receives VOV-3 FM 102.7MHz during E-skip propagation, but it will have potential interference from Kelantan FM 102.9MHz Wakah Che Yeh local transmitter.
