Indonesia radio station FM 101.1MHz tuned in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia was Radio GSP FM from Jambi Province

Yesterday I received a message from another DXer, named Kelvin Lee regarding the radio reception in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia.

He received an unknown Indonesia radio station on the frequency FM 101.1MHz in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia yesterday. Then, he sent the video of receiving FM 101.1MHz to me.

In the past years, when I was in Genting Highlands, I only managed to receive Minnal FM from Gunung Pulai and MY FM from Bukit Pelindung on the frequency FM 101.1MHz, but I never managed to receive any Indonesia radio station on this frequency yet.

By checking the frequency registration list of Indonesia radio stations, none of radio stations are using FM 101.1MHz in North Sumatra, South Sumatra and Riau provinces where are adjacent to Malaysia with Malacca Straits, but there is a radio station using FM 101.1MHz in Jambi.

Next, I watched and listened to the given video, the radio station was airing an event announcement in Indonesian language (Bahasa Indonesia) and mentioning something about Jambi. Then, I identified that the Indonesian speaking radio station on FM 101.1MHz was Radio GSP from Jambi town, Jambi Province, Indonesia tuned in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia.

The radio reception of GSP FM 101.1MHz from Jambi, Indonesia in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia was considered as tropospheric propagation because it was not consistently available at all. 

As RTM Selangor FM 100.9MHz is also transmitted from Gunung Ulu Kali where is just next to Genting Highlands, so adjacent channel interference noise from this radio station could be detected when listened to Radio GSP FM 101.1MHz in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia.

Transmitter power of this radio station was unknown.

The transmitter site of Radio GSP FM 101.1MHz is located at Jalan Professor Dr Ir Sutami 62 in Jambi City, Jambi Province, Indonesia. By calculating the distance between the Tx location of Radio GSP and Genting Highlands, it is 593km.

As April 2025, Radio GSP FM 101.1MHz from Jambi, Indonesia is the furthest radio station tuned in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia.

In conclusion, Indonesia radio on FM 101.1MHz tuned in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia on 12th April 2025 was Radio GSP FM from Jambi, Indonesia.
