Back to 21st March 2026, I had distant radio signal monitoring (FM DX) activity in Semporna, Sabah after landing at Tawau Airport, I only managed to tune two Bukit Trig transmitted Sandakan radio stations such as Era FM Sabah 103.0MHz and RTM Sandakan FM 90.1MHz in Semporna town center near a mosque, the radio reception of 2 radio stations were very weak and almost no signal there. It is very difficult to tune them in Semporna town.
However, Sabah radio DXer, Kisah Alkisah had managed to tune 5 Bukit Trig transmitted Sandakan radio stations with better signal than mine in various locations of Semporna, Sabah, covering Tagasan, Kampung Tampi-Tampi, Kampung Bulingisan and Kampung Bubul.
Radio stations were Era FM Sabah 103.0MHz, Sandakan FM 90.1MHz, MY FM 100.6MHz, Melody FM 102.2MHz and Radio Klasik FM 91.1MHz.
1. Kampung Bubul (163km from Bukit Trig)
2. Kampung Bulingsan (165km from Bukit Trig)
3. Tagasan (167km from Bukit Trig)
4. Kampung Tampi-Tampi (165km from Bukit Trig)
The videos were recorded outside Semporna town center by Kisah Alkisah. Among 4 locations, Kampung Tampi-Tampi is likely the best place in Semporna to receive Sandakan radio stations signal from Bukit Trig because Era FM Sabah 103.0MHz has slightly more signal there, compare to my radio reception video in Semporna town center.
RTM Radio Klasik FM 91.1MHz from Bukit Trig was detected at Tagasan in Semporna while RTM Sabah FM 91.1MHz Bukit Kamari radio transmission was already terminated.
Overall RTM Sandakan FM 90.1MHz is the strongest Bukit Trig transmitted Sandakan radio station elsewhere in Semporna because it is transmitted from upper peak of Bukit Trig.
Sinar FM 106.9MHz has zero signal in elsewhere of Semporna, Sabah because it only operates at 0.25kW transmitter power in Bukit Trig (lower peak).
Bukit Trig is the furthest radio transmitter tuned elsewhere in Semporna, Sabah with the receiving distance range 160-170km.
