Radio stations in Sarikei, Sarawak

From 19th May 2025 to 22nd May 2025, I flied to Sibu and performed radio DXpedition in various locations of Sarawak.

Kanowit was the my first location to have breakfast and radio DXpedition after landing at Sibu Airport. Before having hotel check in at Starlink Hotel in Sibu, I drove to Sarikei town for another radio DXpedition after eating breakfast and conducting radio DXpedition in Kanowit.

In Sarikei, generally I can only tune 7 RTM radio stations and Cats FM from Bukit Kayu Malam transmitter, but I manage to tune Sibu commercial radio stations from Bukit Lima such as Hitz FM 105.1MHz, MY FM 105.9MHz, Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz and Tea FM 100.7MHz, as well as RTM Wai FM Bidayuh 106.1MHz from Gunung Serapi too.
