Rádio Nacional da Amazônia SW 11780kHz from Brazil is the furhest shortwave radio station tuned in Malaysia.

I break another shortwave radio DXing record in 2024 again by tuning another furthest radio station in Malaysia.

On 16th January 2024, I managed to receive Rádio Nacional da Amazônia on SW 11780kHz from Brazil in Malaysia.

In Malaysia, based on local time (UTC+8), Rádio Nacional da Amazônia broadcasts daily from 1750 hours till 1100 hours, the language is in Portuguese.

I received Rádio Nacional da Amazônia SW 11780kHz in Balakong, Selangor, Malaysia where it is located not far from Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. 

 

Rádio Nacional da Amazônia SW 11780kHz has adjacent channel interference with 3 China shortwave radio stations and Radio Free Asia which they are on SW 11775kHz. During my radio tuning of Rádio Nacional da Amazônia on SW 11780kHz, I could hear adjacent channel interference of China National Radio CNR-6 SW 11775kHz in the evening, meanwhile adjacent channel interference of Radio Free Asia and China Radio International SW 11775kHz happens in the morning.

 

When there was adjacent channel interference noise of China National Radio CNR-6 SW 11775kHz when I tuned Rádio Nacional da Amazônia SW 11780kHz, I had to tune adjacently to SW 11785kHz, but audio quality went lower due to adjacent frequency tuning.

 

In my shortwave radio tuning history, Rádio Nacional da Amazônia SW 11780kHz from Brazil is the furthest shortwave radio tuned in Malaysia with 16432km distance.
