RTM Mutiara FM 93.9MHz Gunung Jerai received in Langkawi, Kedah

 

In Langkawi Island, most of Gunung Jerai transmitted radio stations can be received partially in Langkawi Island, but RTM Mutiara FM 93.9MHz is the most difficult radio station received there because it operates at low power transmission as much as 0.1kW to cover North Penang Island only as a gap filler transmitter to cover blind spot areas of FM 95.7MHz Bukit Penara such as Batu Feringghi, Tanjung Bungah, Teluk Bahang, and Tanjung Tokong.

 

When I was Langkawi, Mutiara FM 93.9MHz Gunung Jerai could not be received because interference from Thailand radio station, namely 94PFM We Love Satun. As 94PFM We Love Satun transmission can travel to Langkawi, this causes Mutiara FM 93.9MHz cannot be received there.

 


In certain conditions, the frequency FM 93.9MHz can become as Nasional FM from Bukit Genting. Hence, co-channel interference between Nasional FM and Mutiara FM also happens in Langkawi Island.

 

• Radio Station : RTM Mutiara FM 

• Frequency : FM 93.9 MHz 

• Power : 0.1 kW 

• Transmitting Location : Upper Gunung Jerai Mukim Yan, Yan District, Kedah State, Malaysia 

• Receiving Location : Tok Ayah Camp 1100 Meter From Seven Wells Waterfall Mukim Padang Matairat, Langkawi Island, Kedah State, Malaysia 

• Distance : 108 KM  


Alongside 93.9MHz, Langkawi can receive Mutiara FM 90.9MHz from Bukit Genting, but interference with Mix FM 91.0MHz from Gunung Jerai, meanwhile FM 95.7MHz Bukit Penara is not receivable because the frequency is occupied by MCOT Phatthalung FM 95.75MHz.
