FM DX: Engkilili, Sarawak

On 19th May 2025, I departed from Sibu to Simanggang for another series of radio DXing activity. It took 3 hours drive from Sibu to Simanggang.

Before reaching Simanggang town, I stopped in Engkilili for break and radio DXing activity. Engkilili was my first stop of 2nd day of FM DX: Sarawak 2025 (PART 1).

Engkilili is a town located in Lubok Antu District, Sri Aman Division, Sarawak. For radio coverage, Engkilili is covered by Bukit Temudok transmitter.

Alongside with Bukit Temudok transmitter, I could receive distant radio stations from Kuching and Serian weakly in Engkilili, Sarawak.

In Engkilili, I monitored 6 distant radio stations signal.

1. Hot FM 94.3MHz Gunung Serapi (172km)

2. RTM Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz Gunung Serapi (172km)

3. RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan 106.1MHz Gunung Serapi (172km) & 101.7MHz Gunung Ampungan (117km)

Wai FM Bidayuh 106.1MHz dominates more signal than 101.7MHz in Engkilili, Sarawak.

4. Kupi-Kupi FM 92.5MHz Bukit Djin (153km)

5. Eight FM 98.3MHz Bukit Djin (153km)

6. Kool 101 FM 104.3MHz Bukit Djin (153km)

None of Astro radio stations can be tuned in Engkilili, Sarawak as they're operating at lower transmitter power in Bukit Djin. From Kuching to Sri Aman, Astro Kuching radio stations can be only received up to Siburan, Sarawak.

Tea FM 102.7MHz and Bernama Radio FM 100.9MHz from Bukit Antu have no signal in Engkilili.
