Kuala Rompin is the only location in Pahang state, Malaysia where I can tune to some Singapore radio stations via FM frequency transmission on the radio receiver.

Generally we know that Singapore radio stations can be tuned in South Johor of Malaysia (such as Johor Bahru, Kota Tinggi, Kluang, and Pontian), even weak signal can be received in North Johor and part of Melaka.

Unexpectedly I could receive several Singapore radio stations in Kuala Rompin where is located in Pahang state. Kuala Rompin is located in Southeast Pahang, beside Endau in Johor, and also opposite of Tioman Island.

Most of Singapore radio stations that I tuned in Kuala Rompin were operated by Mediacorp, meanwhile there is 1 radio station operated by Singapore Press Holdings SPH Media Trust. In Kuala Rompin, I had received about 7 Singapore radio stations via FM radio platform. These 7 Singapore radio stations were tested in Kuala Rompin town (excluding Tanjung Gemuk).

 

1. SPH Media Trust One FM 91.3MHz (TX Power: 12kW)

 

The only SPH radio station which I could hear weakly in Kuala Rompin, Pahang, the exact location is in Kampung Deraman. No signal is heard when I received in the exact Kuala Rompin town.

No signal from its sister radio stations such as Money FM 89.3MHz, and Hao FM 96.3MHz are received in Kuala Rompin, Pahang, Malaysia.

 

2. Mediacorp Symphony 92.4FM (TX Power: 10kW)

Signal was quite loud when I tuned nearby Pantai Hiburan, but co-channel interference with Hot FM Kuantan frequency FM 92.4MHz is detected when I listened to Symphony 92.4MHz in Kuala Rompin town, Pahang.

 

3. Mediacorp YES 93.3FM (TX Power: 6kW)

Same receiving location as Symphony 92.4FM, but it has minor adjacent channel interference with Hitz FM Kuantan frequency 93.2MHz from Bukit Pelindung. However, FM 93.3MHz is weak signal of 988 FM from Gunung Telapak Buruk when receive in Kuala Rompin town.

 

4. Mediacorp Class 95FM (TX Power: 6kW)

Adjacent channel interference with Manis FM 95.1MHz from Bukit Pelindung, Kuantan. In most of the areas in Kuala Rompin, Class 95FM is having co-channel interference with Hitz FM 95.0MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk which same phenomena like Muar.

 

5. Mediacorp Oli 96.8FM (TX Power: 10kW)

In Kuala Rompin, there are 2 Malaysia Tamil radio stations are available. Minnal FM is the clearest Tamil radio station as it is transmitted from Bukit Tinggi, Johor on the frequency FM 88.3MHz, meanwhile Raaga can be tuned weakly in Kuala Rompin on either FM 99.3MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali or FM 99.7MHz from Gunung Ledang.

Alongside Raaga and Minnal FM, Singapore Mediacorp's Tamil radio station Oli 96.8FM can be received in Kuala Rompin, but signal is pretty unstable and having interference. The radio signal of Oli 96.8FM is not consistently available in Kuala Rompin as it is having adjacent channel interference with Sinar FM 96.9MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk.

In addition, Oli 96.8FM is also having co-channel interference with RTM Pahang FM 96.8MHz from Tioman Island. Overall check, Oli 96.8FM from Singapore and RTM Pahang FM 96.8MHz from Tioman Island are constantly having interference with Sinar FM 96.9MHz Negeri Sembilan frequency from Gunung Telapak Buruk in Kuala Rompin, Endau and Tanjung Gemuk.

6. Mediacorp Love 97.2FM (TX Power: 6kW)

The clearest Singapore radio station in Kuala Rompin ever, compare with other 6 samples. It is available from Kuala Rompin to Endau. 

I ran the distant radio signal monitoring of Love 97.2FM in two different locations. First, it is in the town. Second, it is in Tanjung Gemuk where is 24km from Kuala Rompin town, also just next to Johor border.

 

Co-channel interference with Sinar FM Kuantan frequency 97.2MHz from Bukit Pelindung in Kuala Rompin is less serious than FM 92.4MHz.

 

7. Mediacorp 987FM (TX Power: 6kW)

While I was driving from Kuala Rompin town, southbound to Endau, Johor, my car radio receiver frequency automatic scan suddenly stopped at FM 98.7MHz when I pressed previous button on my radio dial from FM 99.7MHz to other lower frequency.

So, I had identified the frequency FM 98.7MHz that I tuned in Kuala Rompin was actually Mediacorp 987FM. After for a while, it began having adjacent channel interference with Fly FM 98.6MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk, but the interference was not so serious.

Reception signal was quite clear when I tuned to 987FM there.

All Singapore radio stations are transmitted from Bukit Batok, the adjacent transmission distance from Bukit Batok to Kuala Rompin is between 161km to 169km, meanwhile Bukit Batok adjacent distance to Tanjung Gemuk is about 147km. 

Tested radio stations are received in two radio receivers such as Perodua Axia SE 2014 Betamek radio player, and TECSUN PL-380.

 

Meanwhile, no signal can be detected in Kuala Rompin when I tuned to other Singapore radio stations such as 88.3 Jia FM, BBC World Service 88.9FM, Money FM 89.3MHz, Ria 89.7FM, Gold 90.5FM, Kiss 92FM, CNA 93.8FM, Capital 95.8FM, 96.3 Hao FM, Power 98FM, and UFM 100.3, but I almost received Warna 94.2FM from Singapore, unfortunately the signal was gone quickly and the frequency became Mix FM 94.2MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk. 

 

==Other Singapore radio stations reception result in Kuala Rompin, Pahang, Malaysia==

1) 88.3 Jia FM: Signal is totally Minnal FM 88.3MHz from Bukit Tinggi

2) BBC World Service FM 88.9MHz: Adjacent signal of THR Gegar FM 88.8MHz from Bukit Pelindung.

3) Money FM 89.3MHz: No signal

4) Ria 89.7FM: Weak signal of Ai FM 89.7MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk, also adjacent signal of IKIM FM 89.6MHz from Bukit Pelindung

5) Gold 90.5FM: Weak signal of Minnal FM 90.5MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk

6) Kiss 92FM: The frequency is totally the adjacent signal of RTM Pahang FM 91.9MHz local transmitter and Johor FM 92.1MHz from Bukit Tinggi.

7) CNA 93.8FM: The frequency is totally the adjacent signal of RTM Radio Klasik FM 93.7MHz local transmitter

8) Capital 95.8FM: No signal, but weak and mild signal of Fly FM 95.8MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali

9) Hao FM 96.3: Weak signal of Minnal FM 96.3MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali

10) Power 98FM: Weak signal of Era FM 98.0MHz from Bukit Pelindung

Meanwhile none of people are installing high rise UHF antenna in Kuala Rompin to receive Singapore TV stations (regardless analogue or digital). 

 

In conclusion, by conducting FM DXing, Kuala Rompin is the only Pahang location where I can receive some Singapore radio stations via frequency transmission on my radio receivers.
