I finally received Radio NUG on SW 15300kHz in Malaysia yesterday at 0130H UTC.

 

On last Saturday, Radio NUG announced to launch another frequency alongside SW 17710kHz at Facebook page, this new additional frequency will be aired on 0130H UTC (8pm Myanmar time, meanwhile 9.30pm Malaysia time).

 

At its official Facebook page, Radio NUG initially stated this additional frequency was SW 15530kHz, but it provided wrong frequency information and caused many listeners including DXer are unable to receive the broadcast on the frequency. Until few minutes before Radio NUG signing off at 0200H (UTC), a DXer informed that Radio NUG was broadcasting on SW 15300kHz, and caused I was not able to copy the signal. 

 

I was a little bit disappointed for not receiving Radio NUG on the additional frequency, hence I planned to try it again by last Sunday, however no signal was shown up at 0130H (UTC), regardless 15300kHz and 17710kHz.

 

Until yesterday when it was Monday, I finally received Radio NUG on SW 15300kHz on 30th August 2021 at 0130H (UTC). 

 

QTH is Balakong, Selangor, Malaysia (20km from Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia).

 

Compare with SW 17710kHz night transmission, Radio NUG SW 15300kHz is much louder and clearer in Malaysia, the field strength reading meter on my TECSUN PL-380 is higher than 17710kHz when I tuned Radio NUG on SW 15300kHz.

 

I believe SW 15300kHz is not transmitted from Talata-Volonondry, Madagascar, but I may presume it is from Tashkent, Uzbekistan by beaming to southeast direction (please correct me if I'm wrong).

 

SINPO code for SW 15300kHz is 45444.
