FM DX Sporadic E in Malaysia (Episode 3): AIR (All India Radio) Rainbow FM 102.8MHz from Puducherry, India received in Langkawi Island, Kedah, Malaysia.

It is very interesting when we receive the ultra far radio stations signal via troprospheric, Sporadic E, and E-skip radio propagation. As I mentioned on previous article related to Thailand radio station which I received in Balakong, Selangor state, Malaysia, it was Sporadic E radio propagation day yesterday on 31st January 2022 in Malaysia.

 

In Langkawi Island, there is a DXer, named Sarawut DXers (Saiful Izham) received All India Radio AIR Rainbow FM 102.8MHz from Puducherry, India. It is the second furthest FM radio station received in Langkawi after Guangdong News Radio FM 91.4MHz from China which recorded in Langkawi on 15/09/2021 with 2356km distance.

 

Here is the audio clip which he received AIR Rainbow FM 102.8MHz in Langkawi, Malaysia.  

The signal was moderately clear with little fading signal. AIR Rainbow FM in Puducherry, India broadcasts in Tamil language, rather than Hindi language because Puducherry is located in South India where spoken language is Tamil there.

No interference from any distant radio stations like Perlis FM 102.9MHz (Padang Pauh) and IKIM FM 102.7MHz (Bukit Genting) was detected during the reception. 

 

The signal of AIR Rainbow FM 102.8MHz in Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia is not consistently available because it is just a Sporadic E radio propagation signal only.
