Kuantan radio stations from Bukit Pelindung overspilled to Selangor (Balakong) and Putrajaya when Seremban radio stations from Gunung Telapak Burok were switched off due to a landslide of the transmission tower happened in January 2022.

Remember early of this year in 2022, Malaysia suffered the massive flash floods, the most serious location was in Shah Alam, Selangor, even in Negeri Sembilan and the east coast states.


In Negeri Sembilan's Jelebu, there was a flash flood too, until Gunung Telapak Burok had a landslide on 3rd January 2022, causing all radio stations' transmission were forced to switch off the transmission. When Negeri Sembilan's radio stations which were transmitted from Gunung Telapak Burok tower temporarily closed down the transmission due to landslide, it seriously affected the listeners in Negeri Sembilan, Southern Selangor and Central Pahang, even part of Melaka.

 

Back to January 2022, when Gunung Telapak Burok transmitted radio stations were switched off for 3 days due to landslide, some Kuantan radio stations from Bukit Pelindung could overspill signal to Selangor state easily with weaker signal.

 

I managed to catch few Bukit Pelindung radio stations in Putrajaya and Balakong.

 

In Putrajaya SKVE interchange nearby IOI City Mall, I heard Manis FM 95.1MHz signal from Bukit Pelindung, meanwhile at my home in Balakong, I could receive Ai FM 106.1MHz, Nasional FM 107.1MHz and Manis FM 95.1MHz from Bukit Pelindung too.

 

Signals were very weak in both locations.

 

Transmission distance from Bukit Pelindung to stated receiving locations: 

* Balakong (202km)

* Putrajaya: SKVE Interchange (208km) 

 

1. Manis FM 95.1MHz (Putrajaya)

2. Balakong, Selangor

a. Manis FM 95.1MHz 


b. Ai FM 106.1MHz

 

c. Nasional FM 107.1MHz

When Gunung Telapak Burok radio stations resume their transmission, these Bukit Pelindung transmitted Kuantan radio stations are no longer receivable, however it leaves only MY FM 101.1MHz and Suria FM 96.1MHz as the only receivable Kuantan radio stations in Balakong, Serdang UPM highway and Putrajaya with very weak signal.
