During Hari Raya Aidilfitri, I visited Tawau, Lahad Datu, Semporna and Kunak for the first ever radio DXpedition tour in 2026.
In Tawau, I had already managed to receive Indonesia radio stations from Nunukan and Tarakan.
However, there was a Sabah radio DXer, Kisah Alkisah received 3 Indonesia radio stations in Semporna, Sabah, Malaysia recently. He received Radio Republik Indonesia RRI radio stations from Tarakan and Nunukan in Semporna, Sabah, Malaysia.
1. RRI Tarakan PRO-2 FM 107.0MHz (162km from Tarakan)
2. RRI Tarakan PRO-3 FM 92.0MHz (162km from Tarakan)
3. RRI Nunukan PRO-1 FM 91.5MHz (86km from Sebatik Island) & FM 96.3MHz (103km from Nunukan Town)
RRI Tarakan PRO-2 FM 107.0MHz and PRO-3 FM 92.0MHz were tuned at Tagasan, meanwhile RRI Nunukan PRO-1 FM 91.5MHz is tuned at Kampung Bubul.
RRI Nunukan PRO-1 FM 91.5MHz was loud and clear at Kampung Bubul, meanwhile RRI Nunukan PRO-1 FM 96.3MHz and RRI Tarakan PRO-2 FM 107.0MHz very weak at Tagasan, then PRO-3 FM 92.0MHz was loud and clear at Tagasan.
Based on the videos above, RRI Tarakan radio stations (PRO-2 and PRO-3) in Semporna have same weak radio reception like what I tuned in Tawau, Sabah on 22nd March 2026. They are considered as tropospheric propagation.
These Indonesia radio stations have no signal in Semporna town center, Sabah, Malaysia.
In terms of distance from transmitter site to receiving location, same with RTM Sandakan FM 90.1MHz and Era FM Sabah 103.0MHz from Bukit Trig, RRI Tarakan PRO-2 FM 107.0MHz and RRI Tarakan PRO-3 FM 92.0MHz are also the furthest radio stations tuned in Semporna, Sabah, Malaysia with 162km distance.
