RTM Sabah VFM 102.9MHz Bukit Tampalagus transmitter tuned in Miri Division, Sarawak (Bekenu, Marudi and Miri)

RTM Sabah VFM 102.9MHz from Bukit Tampalagus transmitter mainly covers Sipitang, Beaufort, Sindumin and Menumbok, meanwhile it is also available in Lawas, Sundar, Trusan of Sarawak and part of Brunei (Temburong, Muara, Tutong and part of Bandar Seri Begawan).

Since April 2024, I captured its signal at the first time in Bekenu, Miri Division, Sarawak. Bekenu was marked as the furthest location in Sarawak to tune Sabah VFM 102.9MHz from Bukit Tampalagus transmitter.

Recently I successfully received RTM Sabah VFM on 102.9MHz in another 2 locations in Miri Division, Sarawak, notably Marudi and Miri Airport.

Same as Bekenu, RTM Sabah VFM 102.9MHz signal is super weak and mild in Miri and Marudi.

Sabah VFM 102.9MHz is clear in some areas between Pan Borneo Highway and Marudi due to high elevation of the road because Marudi road is hilly.

By calculating the distance from Bukit Tampalagus to 3 tuning locations, RTM Sabah VFM 102.9MHz is the furthest radio station tuned in Miri Division, Sarawak.
