Since 2005 till today, I never catch any Japan radio station on MW (Medium Wave) radio band in Malaysia, but I only received Japan radio stations on SW (Short Wave) band such as NHK World Japan Radio (SW 11815kHz, 11825kHz & 17810kHz) and Radio Nikkei 1 (SW 6055kHz).
Usually I only could receive AM radio stations from Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar and part of China for MW DX.
Surprisingly there is a DXer, named Saiful Izham successfully receiving NHK Radio 1 on MW 594kHz in Langkawi Island, Kedah, Malaysia. Hence, it is first ever Japan radio station signal received in Malaysia.
According to the video, Saiful Izham received NHK Radio 1 AM 594kHz in Langkawi, Malaysia by using Panasonic RF-P50 radio receiver.
AM 594kHz from Shobu Kuki transmitter site is mainly covering Tokyo, Japan.
• Radio Station : NHK Radio Japan 1 (JOAK)
• Frequency : AM 594 KHz
• Power : 500 kW

The signal quality of NHK Radio 1 AM 594kHz in Langkawi is average to weak, so I rate 40/100. Very freak when NHK Japan domestic radio station NHK Radio 1 AM 594kHz spotted in Malaysia.
