5 years ago, someone from Indonesia tuned BFM 89.9 loudly and clearly in Rokan Hilir, Riau Province, Indonesia during the radio frequency bandscan.

Recently I spotted an another video of tuning BFM 89.9 in Indonesia which was published on YouTube by 4th October 2024, but BFM 89.9 was tuned by Limra DX in Pematangsiantar, North Sumatra, Indonesia.

 

 

BFM 89.9 from Gunung Ulu Kali, Malaysia was loud and clear in Pematangsiantar, North Sumatra, Indonesia, even its RDS PS text "BFM 89.9 BUSINESS, BFM 89.9 FINANCE, BFM 89.9 MUSIC" was appeared on the radio receiver.
