From 5th to 7th June 2022, I spent my time with family by traveling to Fraser's Hill, Pahang in conjunction with a national holiday (Birthday of Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia). I managed to do FM DXing (distant radio signal monitoring) there, primarily Kelantan FM 97.3MHz from Bukit Bakar, and unexpected Terengganu FM 88.7MHz from Bukit Besar.
Surprisingly I could receive Radio Thailand Sungai Golok FM 106.5MHz in Fraser's Hill, Pahang, Malaysia clearly with STEREO signal indicator which appeared on TECSUN PL-380 radio receiver.
Radio Thailand Sungai Golok FM 106.5MHz is the only Thailand radio station which I heard in Fraser's Hill. In addition, it becomes the furthest radio station there.
The actual location that I record the video of receiving Radio Thailand Sungai Golok FM 106.5MHz is between Rompin Trail and Smoke House Trail at around Jalan Semantan. The signal is very clear after going the corner of Rompin Trail private parking house when going down to Smokehouse Trail. Radio Thailand Sungai Golok FM 106.5MHz signal already overlaps Zayan FM 106.4MHz from Gunung Kledang at Jalan Semantan.
It is not tropospheric propagation because the signal is consistently available there, regardless the receiving time and weather condition.
Usually this radio station is available in most of Kelantan areas, even in Kuala Besut, Terengganu, but it can overspill to Fraser's Hill, Pahang which makes me unbelievable.
- Frequency: FM 106.5MHz
- Power: 5kW
- Transmitter site: Sungai Golok, Narathiwat Province, Thailand
- Receiving site: Jalan Semantan, Fraser's Hill, Pahang, Malaysia (between Rompin Trail and Smokehouse Trail)
- Distance: 258km
In May 2022, I received Radio Thailand Sungai Golok FM 106.5MHz in Lojing Highlands, Kelantan, Malaysia. In terms of signal quality, the signal of Radio Thailand Sungai Golok FM 106.5MHz in Fraser's Hill is much clearer than Lojing Highlands.
