Indonesia FM radio stations received in Bagan Datuk, Perak, Malaysia

Bagan Datuk is located in Southwest Perak, where is 40km away from Teluk Intan. It is also located in coastal area of Perak state.

This small town makes me interesting to receive Indonesia FM radio stations from Medan and other areas within North Sumatra province due to its geographical condition.

There are 7 Indonesia radio stations received in Bagan Datuk during Chinese New Year eve when it fell on 31st January 2022.

1. Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Medan FM 92.4MHz

Signal propagation was on and off, receiving distance is 243km.

 

2. Radio Sergai FM 92.5MHz from Sei Rampah

Weakest Indonesia radio station received in Bagan Datuk, interference with tropospheric radio station RRI Medan PRO-2 FM 92.4MHz could be heard. 

Receiving distance from Sei Rampah to Bagan Datuk: 192km

 

3. Radio DSB FM 93.8MHz from Deli Serdang

 

Bagan Datuk was my second location to receive Radio DSB FM 93.8MHz on 31st January 2022 after Sitiawan in January 2020. Receiving distance from Deli Serdang is 218km.

 

4. Radio Indah Suara RIS FM 96.5MHz from Perbaungan

The most powerful tropospheric radio station heard in Bagan Datuk, but it had adjacent channel interference with Sinar FM 96.4MHz from Bukit Larut occasionally. Receiving distance from Perbaungan to Bagan Datuk is 208km.

 

5. Radio Kardopa Medan FM 99.4MHz (adjacently tune to 99.5MHz)

 

Signal is unavailable on FM 99.4MHz due to local radio station THR Raaga FM 99.3MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali, but Radio Kardopa Medan could be heard in Bagan Datuk by tuning the frequency adjacently to FM 99.5MHz.

Distance is 240km.

 

6. Radio Muslim Al-Faith FM 107.3MHz Medan

 

My second Perak location to receive Radio Muslim Al-Fatih FM 107.3MHz after Teluk Intan. Signal is stable with statics and without interference, but it is not clear as Radio Indah Suara FM 96.5MHz from Perbaungan and Radio Radja FM 107.7MHz from Medan.

 

Receiving distance is 244km.

 

7. Radio Jawa (Raja FM) 107.7MHz Medan

First location to receive Radio Jawa (Raja FM) 107.7MHz in Perak state, and it is the clearest Medan based radio station, however adjacent channel interference with GoXUAN FM 107.6MHz from Bukit Penara could be heard occasionally there.

Here is a chart of Indonesia radio stations which I received in Bagan Datuk, Perak, Malaysia from clearest to weakest.

1. Radio Indah Suara FM 96.5MHz Perbaungan

2. Radio Jawa (Raja) FM 107.7MHz Medan

3. Radio Muslim Al-Fatih FM 107.3MHz Medan

4. Radio DSB FM 93.8MHz Deli Serdang

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

6. Sergai FM 92.5MHz Sei Rampah

7. Radio Kardopa Medan FM 99.4MHz

I could not receive Suara Medan FM 94.7MHz and Mutiara Kartika FM 100.3MHz in Bagan Datuk as I planned early because RTM Perak FM 94.7MHz and Pahang FM 100.3MHz from Gunung Brinchang are quite strong there (thus weaker signal).
