FM DX in Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia: Receive Indonesia FM radio stations from Medan, North Sumatera Province.

In 2019, I was used to only receive an Indonesia radio station in Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia, it was Radio Sergai FM 92.5MHz from Sei Rampah, North Sumatera Province.

During Chinese New Year festival in 2022, I traveled to Teluk Intan, Perak after 2 years hiatus. Hence, I never forget about FM DXing.

Compare with 2020, I have received more tropospheric radio stations in Teluk Intan this year. There are about 4 Indonesia radio stations from Medan received in Teluk Intan, Perak, namely:

- Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Medan PRO-2 FM 92.4MHz

- Suara Medan FM 94.7MHz

- Radio Kardopa FM 99.4MHz Medan (adjacently tuned on 99.5MHz)

- Radio Muslim Al-Fatih FM 107.3MHz

- Radio Jawa (Raja) FM 107.7MHz

 

Receiving distance from transmitter sites is between 265km and 272km. 

1. Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Medan PRO-2 FM 92.4MHz 

Signal was received at Jalan Changkat Jong nearby Caltex petrol station, propagation was weak.

2. Suara Medan FM 94.7MHz

The hardest Indonesia radio station received in Teluk Intan, Perak because FM 94.7MHz is mostly RTM Perak FM signal from Gunung Brinchang. I only received this rare signal of Suara Medan FM 94.7MHz from Indonesia under troposphere interference condition.

3. Radio Muslim Al-Fatih FM 107.3MHz

Received in two locations, Pasir Berdamar site nearby Perak River and Jalan Changkat Jong. Signal is only available during tropospheric propagation.

4. Radio Jawa (Raja) FM 107.7MHz Medan
 

Rare signal actually. FM 107.7MHz has no signal during most of the time, meanwhile interference from GoXUAN FM 107.6MHz Bukit Penara transmitter happens occasionally in Teluk Intan.

 

5. Radio Kardopa Medan FM 99.4MHz

Frequency is actually FM 99.4MHz. Due to THR Raaga FM 99.3MHz Gunung Ulu Kali transmitter, I tuned the frequency adjacently to FM 99.5MHz, hence adjacent station Radio Kardopa Medan was heard in Teluk Intan.

Among 5 Indonesia radio stations which I received in Teluk Intan, Radio Muslim Al-Fatih FM 107.3MHz was the strongest, following by Radio Radja Medan FM 107.7MHz and RRI Medan PRO-2 FM 92.4MHz.
