Between August 2021 and January 2022, I conducted signal reception of Hope Radio shortwave frequencies in Balakong, Selangor, Malaysia where is 20km from Kuala Lumpur. Angel 4 (SW 15680kHz) signal was more powerful than Angel 5 (SW 9965kHz), meanwhile the trial transmission of Angel 3 (SW 9930kHz) was very clear in Malaysia too.


The transmitter site was located in Medorn, Palau Island, so the receiving distance was 3658km.


Here are my videos of tuning Hope Radio from Palau Island in Malaysia.
