RTM Sabah VFM 102.9MHz from Bukit Tampalagus received in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia by Shafik 1995 DXers

In Sarawak, Sabah VFM can be tuned in Lawas, Sundar and part of Limbang, but someone received this radio station signal in Miri, Sarawak.

Throwback November 2021, a radio DXer named Shafik 1995 DXers recorded Sabah VFM 102.9MHz in Miri, Sarawak.

Based on his video, I don't think he tuned Sabah VFM 102.9MHz in Miri town, but either Piasau or Lutong because the tuning distance that he described was 196km from Bukit Tampalagus.

Same as my radio reception video of Sabah VFM 102.9MHz in Bekenu, the radio station was airing Kadazan language program.

Sabah VFM 102.9MHz from Bukit Tampalagus is the 2nd furthest radio station tuned in Miri after Bintulu FM 97.5MHz from Bukit Setiam.

When I was in Miri on 11th April 2024 during second day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, I could not receive any signal of RTM Sabah VFM 102.9MHz in Miri city center, but I tuned it in Bekenu where is 48km from Miri with super weak signal. 

What Shafik 1995 DXers did tune Sabah VFM 102.9MHz in Miri could be likely tropospheric propagation, otherwise a normal weak radio reception tuned in coastal area of Miri.
