Receiving Indonesia FM radio stations in Sungai Ayer Tawar, Selangor, Malaysia. FM 107.3MHz and FM 88.6MHz signal were detected.

During Hari Raya Aidilfitri holiday, I had crossed with 4 states actually such as Selangor, Perak, Pahang and Kelantan.

 

On 1st May 2022,

Balakong, Selangor>>Perak (pass through)>>Cameron Highlands, Pahang (pass through)>>Lojing Highlands, Kelantan>>Teluk Intan, Perak

 

On 3rd May 2022,

Teluk Intan, Perak>>Sungai Ayer Tawar, Selangor>>Teluk Intan, Perak 

 

After Lojing Highlands revisit, I visited my Malay school friend for Raya celebration at his hometown in Sungai Ayer Tawar, Selangor (within Sabak Bernam). I departed early from Teluk Intan to Sungai Ayer Tawar was to perform FM DX on Indonesia radio stations signal at the seaside (Pantai Sungai Lang) in the morning, but unsuccessful due to the rain. Hence, I visited to my friend's village first. 

 

Before departing to Teluk Intan, I revisited again Pantai Sungai Lang for FM DXing in order to catch Indonesia radio stations signal. 

Most of my targeted Indonesia radio stations such as Suara Medan FM 94.7MHz, Mutiara Kartika FM 100.3MHz, Radio DSB FM 93.8MHz, RRI Medan PRO-2 FM 92.4MHz and Radio Jawa (Raja FM) 107.7MHz were not receivable, however I caught two Indonesia radio stations at Pantai Sungai Lang, Sungai Ayer Tawar, Selangor, Malaysia.

 

1. Radio Nastra FM 88.6MHz from Langkat

2. Radio Al-Fatih FM 107.3MHz from Medan

 

Radio Nastra FM 88.6MHz from Pangkalan Susu, Langkat, Indonesia signal was loud, heard clearly at Pantai Sungai Lang, Selangor, meanwhile Radio Al-Fatih FM 107.3MHz can be heard, but weaker.

 

No interference from any local adjacent radio stations were found so far. 

For Medan based Indonesia radio station Radio Al-Fatih FM 107.3MHz, Sungai Ayer Tawar is my 4th location in Malaysia to receive the station after Teluk Intan, Bagan Datuk and Sitiawan where I checked during Chinese New Year in January and February 2022.
