RTM Nasional FM starts its trial transmission on shortwave frequency SW 15295kHz

Today my friend, Sarawut DXer from Langkawi, Kedah tunes RTM Nasional FM on shortwave frequency SW 15295kHz.

According to him, Nasional FM performs test transmission on SW 15295kHz, transmitted from RTM Kajang, but the signal is negative in Balakong, Selangor when I reached home at 6.15pm (UTC+8) because Nasional FM shortwave test transmission ends at 5.15pm.

Nasional FM on SW 15295kHz from RTM Kajang is loud and clear in Langkawi, Kedah.

Currently Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) Nasional FM has not released any official announcement regarding its shortwave radio transmission SW 15295kHz, so I classify the radio broadcast on SW 15295kHz as the test transmission.
