In March 2026, Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) relaunched two shortwave radio stations transmission, SW 15295kHz (Nasional FM) and SW 11885kHz (Sabah VFM).
For Sabah VFM SW 11885kHz, the main intended coverage is Sabah rural areas in East Malaysia region, meanwhile Nasional FM SW 15295kHz mainly targets entire Malaysia with non-directional antenna at 10kW.
In the past years, I had seen several radio DXers from Latin America countries tuning Wai FM SW 11665kHz and Sarawak FM SW 9835kHz in Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador and Mexico.
Recently, RTM shortwave radio station was received again in Brazil on SW 15295kHz which carries the program from Nasional FM.
Based on the information from Uender Marques, the Brazilian radio DXer, RTM Nasional FM SW 15295kHz was tuned in Unai, Minas Gerais state, Brazil.
Unai is located 164km from Brasilia, the capital city of Brazil.
The radio reception of Nasional FM SW 15295kHz in Brazil is average, but stable.
==Radio reception of RTM Nasional FM SW 15295kHz in Brazil==
* Frequency: SW 15295kHz
* Power: 10kW
* Transmitter site: RTM Kajang, Selangor state, Malaysia

Parabéns! Congratulations to Uender Marques for successfully receiving RTM Nasional FM shortwave frequency SW 15295kHz in Brazil.
Alongside RTM Nasional FM, I also expect that Sabah VFM SW 11885kHz can be received in Brazil and other Latin America countries like Peru, Colombia, Chile, Mexico (west), Panama, Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Uruguay and Bolivia.
The broadcast hours of both RTM shortwave radio stations are from 0000 hours to 1200 hours (UTC) everyday.
