(Analisis RF) Proposal repeater RRI Batam PRO-3 di Kabupaten Karimun (FM 102.1MHz)

 

==Proposal parameter repeater stasiun RRI Batam PRO-3 di Kabupaten Karimun==

- Frekuensi: FM 102.1MHz (Kanal 146)

- Kekuasaan pemancar: 0.5kW

- Situs Transmisi: Karimun, Indonesia

- Jenis Antenna: Yagi Directional 

 

==Analisis RF==

101.9MHz: Johor FM Gunung Pulai

102.1MHz: RRI Batam PRO-3 (Repeater Karimun)

<200kHz, OK>

 

102.1MHz: RRI Batam PRO-3 (Repeater Karimun) 

102.3MHz: Hijrah FM Batam

<200kHz, OK> 

 

Jika RRI Batam PRO-3 repeater Karimun FM 102.1MHz telah terpasang, orang Karimun bisa mendengarkan RRI Batam PRO-3 pada FM 102.1MHz. Saat ini, RRI PRO-1 yang direlay dari Batam FM 105.1MHz bisa disimak di Karimun pada FM 107.2MHz. Sebelum ini, Karimun tidak punya jangkauan stasiun radio RRI. 

 

Selain itu, pendengar Karimun boleh mendapatkan pembaruan berita dari RRI PRO-3 Karimun FM 102.1MHz jika ada acara darurat.

 

Dengan repeater RRI PRO-3 FM 102.1MHz di Karimun, jangkauan siaran stasiun ini boleh menjangkau seluruh Pulau Karimun, Pulau Kundur, serta Pulau Buru. Tentang transmisi RRI PRO-3 FM 102.1MHz dari repeater Karimun, siaran RRI PRO-3 FM 102.1MHz tidak akan menyebabkan gangguan kepada jangkauan Johor FM 101.9MHz pemancar Gunung Pulai di Kukup dan Tanjung Piai, Johor, Malaysia karena RRI Batam PRO-3 FM 102.1MHz repeater Karimun menggunakan antena directional (Yagi) yang menjangkau ke arah selatan dan pemancar 0.5kW. Pemisahan frekuensi antara Johor FM 101.9MHz Gunung Pulai dan RRI Batam PRO-3 FM 102.1MHz repeater Karimun adalah 0.2MHz.

 

Berharap RRI PRO-3 menambah slot frekuensi di Karimun pada masa depan.

Radio Republik Indonesia RRI can expand Batam PRO-3 to Karimun as repeater (FM 102.1MHz) after RRI launched Batam PRO-1 FM 107.2MHz in Karimun Island.

 

On yesterday, I was notified by a Batam DXer that RRI Batam PRO-1 FM 107.2MHz was actually a repeater station in Karimun Island, Indonesia.

 

In Batam, RRI Batam PRO-1 operates on FM 105.1MHz as main transmitter for the island. As Karimun Island is not covered by Radio Republik Indonesia services, RRI Batam adds a repeater in Karimun on FM 107.2MHz. So, Karimun can receive RRI Batam PRO-1 station on FM 107.2MHz.

 

RRI Batam PRO-1 is regional radio as community empowerment center radio station, it plays important rule to serve local community in urban, rural, mountainous and industrial areas. 

 

In my opinion, there is another station of RRI can set up its repeater in Karimun Island, it is Radio Republik Indonesia PRO-3 (Pro-Tiga) as RRI PRO-3 is a news and talk radio station. In addition, I may classify PRO-3 is a flagship radio channel of Radio Republik Indonesia.

 

In Batam, RRI PRO-3 broadcasts on FM 90.9MHz, but low power transmission as 0.1kW to avoid frequency harmonic to airband, according to Indonesia broadcast authority.

For Karimun area, RRI PRO-3 is not covered by any exisiting transmitters. From my view, to deliver Indonesia news to the island, RRI PRO-3 can launch a repeater in Karimun. Therefore, Karimun people can follow the news. In case of emergency event in the region, Karimun people can receive update from RRI PRO-3 via Karimun repeater.

 

Currently there are 3 radio stations in Karimun Island, such as:

1. Radio Canggai Putri FM 105.3MHz

2. Radio Azam FM 103.5MHz

3. RRI Batam PRO-1 FM 107.2MHz (repeater station) 

 

In Karimun, available frequency slots are lesser as the FM spectrum band is mostly occupied by radio stations from Singapore, Batam, and South Johor.

 

Previously I mentioned FM 102.1MHz is not suitable for Karimun transmission, but it applies to high power transmitter. For RRI PRO-3 Karimun repeater, I can propose FM 102.1MHz, but low power transmission instead to cover the island and surrounding areas.

 

Here is my proposal of RRI Batam PRO-3 Karimun repeater.

 

==RRI PRO-3 repeater parameter== 

* Frequency: FM 102.1MHz

* Power: 0.5kW

* Transmitter site: Karimun Island, Indonesia

* Targeting area: Karimun Island, Kundur Island, and Buru Island 

* Antenna type: Directional (Yagi)

 

==RF analysis==

101.9MHz: RTM Johor FM Gunung Pulai

102.1MHz: RRI Batam PRO-3 (Karimun repeater)

<200kHz, OK>

 

102.1MHz: RRI Batam PRO-3 (Karimun repeater)

102.3MHz: Hijrah FM Batam

<200kHz, OK> 

 

 

As my proposed RRI Batam PRO-3 Karimun repeater is using low power transmitter as much as 0.5kW and directional Yagi antenna, so I believe the transmission of RRI Batam PRO-3 Karimun repeater will not interfere RTM Johor FM 101.9MHz Gunung Pulai coverage in Kukup and Tanjung Piai, Johor. 

 

If RRI launches PRO-3 Karimun repeater on FM 102.1MHz, Karimun will get 4th radio station.

List of empty FM frequencies which new broadcasters can use in Tanjungpinang, Bintan Island, Indonesia.

 

In Tanjungpinang, there are about 15 FM radio stations such as:

 

1. Radio Mercy FM 88.0MHz

2. RRI Tanjungpinang PRO-3 FM 88.6MHz

3. RRI Tanjungpinang PRO-2 FM 92.1MHz 

4. Radio O-Nine FM 93.0MHz

5. Radio Al-Batan FM 96.0MHz

6. Radio Bintan FM 96.5MHz

7. Green Radio FM 97.8MHz

13. Radio Swara Pesona Bintan FM 105.3MHz

14. Radio Rajawali FM 106.9MHz

15. Radio Skansa FM 107.7MHz

 

Most of Tanjungpinang radio stations are having 200kHz frequency separation with Singapore (except RRI PRO-2 FM 92.1MHz which has 100kHz frequency spacing with Kiss 92FM), meanwhile frequency separation of radio stations between Tanjungpinang and Gunung Pulai is 100kHz.

 

Frequency separation

1. Tanjungpinang vs. Gunung Pulai: 100kHz

2. Tanjungpinang vs. Singapore: 200kHz

3. Tanjungpinang vs. Batam: 200kHz

 

By considering Singapore, Batam and Johor Bahru existing radio stations, also complying the minimum frequency separation, I list down the available vacant frequencies for Tanjungpinang transmission.

<200kHz, OK>

FM 102.1MHz in Karimun Island vs. Tanjungpinang, which is more suitable?

FM 102.1MHz is currently a vacant frequency in Riau Islands province, Indonesia. This frequency is absolutely not suitable for Batam broadcast due to interference with Hijrah Radio FM 102.3MHz. However, there are two locations where FM 102.1MHz is likely suitable, so I nominate Karimun Island and Tanjungpinang (Bintan Island). 

Case 1: FM 102.1MHz Karimun Island, Indonesia

102.1MHz: Karimun

102.3MHz: Hijrah FM Batam

<200kHz, OK>

 

101.9MHz: Johor FM Gunung Pulai

102.1MHz: Karimun

<200kHz, NOT OK> 

 

Minimum frequency separation of Karimun Island

- Gunung Pulai: 300kHz

- Singapore: 400kHz

- Batam: 200kHz

Based on RF analysis of FM 102.1MHz Karimun Island, the frequency may be less suitable to be used because it can cause interference to RTM Johor FM 101.9MHz Gunung Pulai coverage in Pontian district, Johor, Malaysia, mainly Kukup and Tanjung Piai areas. In addition, RTM Johor FM has no alternative frequency in Southwest Johor if 101.9MHz is interfered by FM 102.1MHz from Karimun Island, rest of Johor FM frequencies such as FM 105.3MHz Gunung Ledang and FM 92.1MHz Bukit Tinggi are not covering the affected areas.

Case 2: FM 102.1MHz Tanjungpinang, Indonesia

102.1MHz: Tanjungpinang

102.3MHz: Hijrah FM Batam

<200kHz, OK>

 

101.9MHz: Johor FM Gunung Pulai

102.1MHz:Tanjungpinang

<200kHz, OK> 

 

Minimum frequency separation of Tanjungpinang

- Gunung Pulai: 100kHz

- Singapore: 200kHz

- Batam: 200kHz

 

According to RF analysis of FM 102.1MHz Tanjungpinang, in terms of frequency spectrum separation condition, FM 102.1MHz is more suitable for Tanjungpinang broadcast than Karimun. The transmission of FM 102.1MHz from Tanjungpinang does not reach Singapore, Batam and South Johor, so Hijrah FM 102.3MHz Batam is not interfered.

 

In conclusion, between FM 102.1MHz Karimun Island vs. FM 102.1MHz Tanjungpinang, the frequency occupation of FM 102.1MHz in Tanjungpinang is better than Karimun.

Kiss92 from Singapore is much better than Mix FM from Malaysia? Yes, I acknowledge it.

 When you listen to most of Malaysia English radio stations (except BFM as talk radio), most of radio stations such as Hitz, Fly FM, Mix and Lite are repeating same songs over again everyday which make you tired of listening to the radio stations.

Traxx FM is the only English radio station in Malaysia playing variety music, but I may believe some of you don't like to hear the government minister announcement (sounds propaganda) on the radio. No choice because Traxx FM is RTM (Radio Televisyen Malaysia) which is a public broadcaster in Malaysia, so Traxx FM must run government service to the people as it plays important role of public radio stations. I'm very satisfied of Traxx FM music selection actually, especially the weekend shows, playing the songs from 1960's to 90s. 

 

Mix FM is English adult contemporary radio station owned by Astro Radio in Malaysia, its branding is something like Singapore Class 95FM, and Kiss 92FM. 

In Southern Johor and Singapore, there is competition between Mix FM, Kiss 92FM and Class 95FM in same radio segment. I discovered Kiss 92FM since July 2012 actually. Kiss 92FM is the most successful radio station among all within SPH Radio, its main competitor is Class 95FM.

 

In terms of playlist, Kiss 92FM plays most of pop songs from 1990s till now like Malaysia's Mix FM, but I acknowledge that Kiss 92FM is much better than Mix FM for overall playlist.

 

When I listened to Mix FM everywhere regardless radio or Astro DVR (satellite radio), Mix FM plays same songs over again everyday, its music range is absolutely not variety at all. It is a shame and I feel shit to hear such branding "More Music, More Variety", however it repeats same songs everyday, those songs that I heard on Mix FM in 2018/19 are still on radio. 

Singapore Kiss 92FM playlist is even more variety than Mix FM actually. In terms of programme content, Kiss 92FM is having less slapstick than Mix FM.

 

I'm in Kuala Lumpur area actually, it is impossible to listen on Kiss 92FM on radio by tuning frequency to FM 92.0MHz (too far from Singapore), but I listen to this radio station on tunein.com. The technology is getting advanced nowadays, I don't need to worry about inconvenience of listening to Kiss 92FM outdoor (such as in the car) when driving because I can connect my phone to car stereo via Bluetooth.

For FM radio tuning, Kiss 92FM is available in Southern Johor, and partly in Central/North Johor.

Kiss 92FM is available in 20 locations in Johor on the frequency FM 92.0MHz.

Note: Receiving signal in Central Johor areas Kluang, Simpang Renggam, Senggarang, Ayer Hitam, Batu Pahat, Sri Gading, Yong Peng and Parit Sulong is weak and having interference from RTM Johor FM 92.1MHz Bukit Tinggi transmitter (for Kluang district) and Lite FM 92.2MHz Gunung Ledang transmitter (for Batu Pahat district) could be happened unless using special receiving antenna and high sensitivity radio receiver to listen to Kiss 92FM.

If Mix FM is having same pattern by playing same songs over again and making listeners feel tired of listening to the station, it can loss its Johor listeners (especially the southern and partly central) potentially as they switch to Singapore English radio stations like Class 95FM and Kiss 92FM.

If you wants to hear more variety music adult contemporary English radio station, forget about Mix, go for Kiss 92FM.

(RF analysis) FM 102.1MHz Tanjungpinang, Indonesia (for future broadcast proposal use).

Here are the radio stations in Tanjungpinang, Bintan Island, Indonesia.

 

1. Radio Mercy FM 88.0MHz

2. RRI Tanjungpinang PRO-3 FM 88.6MHz

3. RRI Tanjungpinang PRO-2 FM 92.1MHz 

4. Radio O-Nine FM 93.0MHz

5. Radio Al-Batan FM 96.0MHz

6. Radio Bintan FM 96.5MHz

7. Green Radio FM 97.8MHz

8. RRI Tanjungpinang PRO-1 FM 98.3MHz

9. RRI Tanjungpinang PRO-4 FM 101.3MHz

10. Radio Iguana FM 102.6MHz

11. Radio BISS FM 103.2MHz

12. Radio Pandawa FM 103.9MHz

13. Radio Swara Pesona Bintan FM 105.3MHz

14. Radio Rajawali FM 106.9MHz

15. Radio Skansa FM 107.7MHz

 

FM 102.1MHz is the current empty frequency, it can become the future broadcast frequency proposal if Tanjungpinang radio broadcasters are interesting to run a radio station in the town. 

 

So, I start with radio paramater and then RF analysis.

 

==Proposed radio parameter (basic)==

- Frequency: FM 102.1MHz

- Power: 1kW

- Transmitter site: Tanjungpinang, Bintan Island, Indonesia

 

==RF analysis of FM 102.1MHz Tanjungpinang==

102.1MHz: Tanjungpinang, Indonesia

102.3MHz: Hijrah FM Batam

<200kHz, OK>

 

101.9MHz: Johor FM Gunung Pulai

102.1MHz: Tanjungpinang, Indonesia

<200kHz, OK> 

 

 

According to RF analysis, the frequency usage of FM 102.1MHz in Tanjungpinang, Indonesia will not affect Batam and Johor Bahru radio stations coverage as they're having 200kHz frequency separation. Therefore, FM 102.1MHz is suitable for Tanjungpinang broadcast transmission.

 

In terms of interference, FM 102.1MHz Tanjungpinang transmission is much safer than Karimun because Johor FM 101.9MHz Gunung Pulai transmission coverage is not affected by this radio station frequency. Moreover, Karimun Island radio transmission on FM 102.1MHz can interfere Johor FM 101.9MHz in Pontian area.

 

==Minimum frequency separation of Tanjungpinang FM radio transmission== 

- Batam: 200kHz

- Singapore: 200kHz

- Gunung Pulai: 100kHz
