Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Bukittinggi PRO-1 AM 1512kHz, the only available radio station in Balakong, Selangor, Malaysia during daytime transmission.

 

Commonly far distance AM radio stations are available during nighttime propagation. In Malaysia, I could receive multiple AM radio stations from Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, China and Myanmar during evening and nighttime transmission.

 

Previously in Tanjung Piandang, Perak, I successfully received Thailand Voice of Navy 3 Radio AM 1458kHz from Phuket Island at noon, it was my very first AM daytime reception actually.

 

Next, in rare condition, I received Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) Bukittinggi PRO-1 AM 1512kHz in Balakong, Selangor, Malaysia in the afternoon. It is my second AM daytime reception after Voice of Navy 3 AM 1458kHz from Phuket, Thailand.

 

Normally AM 1512kHz in Kuala Lumpur area (20km from Balakong) is mostly occupied by Royal Thai Air Force RTAF 11 from Songkhla, Thailand during evening and nighttime transmission, somehow 1512kHz was having co-channel interference between RTAF Songkhla and RRI Bukittinggi in most of Malaysia areas. However, according to the footage, for this rare daytime transmission, AM 1512kHz reception was quite stable and clean from interference by other radio station.
