Last year in July 2020, I received Raaga FM 102.1MHz from Bukit Larut at Jalan Puchong Jaya Selatan, nearby Jalan Kasawari junction in Puchong, Selangor by tuning in my car (Perodua Axia).
Over last weekend, I received this radio station on same frequency again in Puchong, but different car radio receiver and location.
The video was taken at Taman Perindustrian Kinrara 2 (TPK 2) in Puchong, Selangor through Nissan Almera N17 radio receiver (Clarion CY23G) on 23rd October 2021, approximately 0830 hours (UTC+8 Malaysia time).
Different from previous video that I took last year, the latest video of receiving THR Raaga FM 102.1MHz in Puchong is longer and clearer visual because I stopped my car in an appropriate place to record the video, meanwhile previous video was taken when I was stopping in front traffic light, so its duration was shorter due to traffic safety.
Traffic safety is the first priority when FM DXing is performed in the car.
* Frequency: FM 102.1MHz
* Power: 0.5kW
* Transmission site: Bukit Larut, Taiping, Perak
* Receiving site: Puchong, Selangor (Taman Perindustrian Kinrara 2- TPK 2)
* Distance: 221km
Receiving distance from Bukit Larut to TPK 2 is same as Jalan Puchong Jaya Selatan where both are having 221km distance.
By tuning Raaga FM 102.1MHz from Bukit Larut at TPK 2 in Puchong, Selangor, 100kHz adjacent channel interference from RTM Pahang FM 102.2MHz Bukit Fraser transmitter where covers Raub was detected. For previous video recording, less adjacent channel interference from Pahang FM 102.2MHz Bukit Fraser transmitter was found in Puchong Jaya Selatan because Pahang FM 102.2MHz was very weak there.
For FM DXing history in Puchong, THR Raaga 102.1MHz is the furthest local radio station caught there, but this is only applied for local radio station category, meanwhile MCOT Radio Chaiyaphum FM 102.0MHz from Thailand is the furthest radio station received in Puchong, thus Sporadic E propagation.
