Selama is my very first location to tune RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz in Perak state.

I went to Penang last week for radio DXing activity and holiday vacation. Before reaching Butterworth in Penang, I dropped by Selama, Perak to expand my radio DXing content, the main purpose to revisit Selama, Perak was to check IKIM FM 89.0MHz/102.7MHz and Perak FM 102.9MHz radio signal.

In Selama, Perak, initially I only planned to DX Perak FM 102.9MHz signal from Lawin transmitter, but the signal on the frequency ended up with Perlis FM surprisingly. In the past years, I only caught Perlis FM 102.9MHz signal in Alor Setar (Kedah) and some Penang areas (Penang Hill and Tanjung Bungah), but it was my very first time to receive RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz radio signal in Perak in my radio DXing history.

The video of tuning Perlis FM 102.9MHz from Padang Pauh transmitter was recorded at opposite of SJK (C) Chi Sheng 1 (Chinese junior school) in Selama town, Perak.

 Perak FM yang dipancar dari Lawin, tetapi saya menerima siaran Perlis FM yang lemah di Selama, Perak.

* Frequency: FM 102.9MHz

* Power: 2kW

* Transmitter site: RTM Padang Pauh, Kangar, Perlis

* Receiving site: Selama, Perak

* Distance: 151km

After recording the radio signal video of Perlis FM 102.9MHz in Selama town, Perak, I drove to Caltex Selama petrol station and had brunch at Family Mart convenience store, but I continued monitoring the radio signal of Perlis FM 102.9MHz. At Caltex Selama, Perlis FM 102.9MHz had co-channel interference with Perak FM 102.9MHz Lawin transmitter when I was looking for the parking before going to Family Mart for brunch.

In my radio DXing history, Selama is my very first location to tune RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz in Perak state where I never been done before. Previously, I attempted to catch Perlis FM 102.9MHz radio signal in Tanjung Piandang, Kuala Kurau and Parit Buntar on 30th August 2020, but no signal was heard.
