Tuning two Batam based Indonesia radio stations (RRI Batam PRO-1 FM 105.1MHz and Hang FM 106.0MHz) in Yong Peng, Johor, Malaysia.

It was Malaysia Day yesterday on 16th September 2023. After radio DXing convoy in Terengganu, I launched my radio DXing convoy in Johor on Malaysia Day holiday, the convoy covered Yong Peng, Paloh and Chaah, then I extended to Jementah and Selancar after these 3 locations during departure to my home in Balakong in the afternoon.


Balakong>> Yong Peng>> Paloh >> Chaah >> Selancar (Pahang)>>Jementah >>Tangkak (lunch)>>Balakong


Yong Peng was my first stop in radio DXing convoy yesterday, but I filmed radio signal videos there for 15-20 minutes before driving to Paloh for breakfast and FM DXing.


Compare to Batu Pahat, Rengit, Senggarang and Parit Raja, Singapore radio stations are very weak and difficult to be tuned in Yong Peng because of interference with Malaysia radio stations from Gunung Ledang, Gunung Ulu Kali and Gunung Telapak Buruk.


While I had skipped filming Singapore FM radio stations there, I received two Indonesia radio stations in Yong Peng, Johor, Malaysia such as Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Batam PRO-1 FM 105.1MHz and Hang FM 106.0MHz, both are based in Batam.


Hang FM 106.0MHz was the clearest Indonesia radio station tuned in Yong Peng with STEREO signal when I received it nearby Majlis Daerah Yong Peng office (Yong Peng District Council), meanwhile RRI Batam PRO-1 FM 105.1MHz was very weak there and having adjacent channel interference with RTM Johor FM 105.3MHz from Gunung Ledang.

 

Hang FM 106.0MHz had no interference with CityPlus FM 106.0MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk in Yong Peng, Johor.


Hijrah Radio FM 102.3MHz from Batam was not received in Yong Peng because 102.3MHz is Melaka FM from Gunung Ledang, however co-channel interference between Hijrah Radio and Melaka FM could be detected on 102.3MHz in Yong Peng.


Receiving distance range is 140-145km from Batam to Yong Peng.
