THR Raaga's Taiping frequency FM 102.1MHz from Bukit Larut is the furthest radio station tuned in Bandar Puncak Alam and Bestari Jaya, Selangor

In conjunction with Christmas long weekend, I go to few places in Selangor today, such as Bestari Jaya (formerly known as Batang Berjuntai) and Bandar Puncak Alam for another series of FM radio DXing.


As I could receive THR Raaga FM 102.1MHz from Bukit Larut (Taiping) in Kuala Selangor and Tanjong Karang, hence it becomes my target when comes to Bestari Jaya and Puncak Alam.


Yes, Raaga FM 102.1MHz Bukit Larut transmitter signal is receivable in Bestari Jaya and Puncak Alam, however interference noise of RTM Pahang FM 102.2MHz from Fraser's Hill (for Raub) can be detected in these two locations when I tune Raaga on FM 102.1MHz, meanwhile signal is even weaker in Ijok.


Note: No signal to tune Raaga FM 102.1MHz in Kapar, Selangor.


In terms of receiving distance, it is 192km from Bukit Larut to Bandar Puncak Alam, meanwhile from Bukit Larut to Bestari Jaya, the distance is 177km.


Therefore, Raaga FM 102.1MHz from Bukit Larut becomes the furthest radio station tuned in Bandar Puncak Alam and Bestari Jaya, Selangor.


Transmitter power of Raaga FM 102.1MHz is only 0.5kW, however it is the most powerful radio station from Taiping in terms of signal propagation.


1. Bandar Puncak Alam, Selangor (192km)


2. Bestari Jaya, Selangor (177km)
