Cadangan frekuensi Molek FM untuk kawasan Dungun dan Kemaman, Terengganu.

 

Di negeri Terengganu, Molek FM bersiaran pada FM 93.6MHz untuk Kuala Terengganu, Setiu, Hulu Terengganu, Kuala Nerus dan Marang yang dipancar dari Bukit Besar.

 

Kawasan Besut mungkin boleh menerima siaran Molek FM pada 93.6MHz atau 105.1MHz.

 

Bagi kawasan Dungun, penerimaan Molek FM 93.6MHz sudah lemah, dan pendengar perlu mendengar melalui online atau YouTube.

 

Pada pandangan saya, Molek FM boleh menambah satu pemancar di Bukit Bauk untuk meliputi Dungun dan Kemaman.

 

Di sekitar Dungun, terdapat banyak slot frekuensi kosong yang sesuai digunakan di pemancar Bukit Bauk.

 

- 88.3MHz

- 89.2MHz

- 91.2MHz

- 92.1MHz

- 92.8MHz

- 94.4MHz

- 103.6MHz

- 104.3MHz

Molek FM is available in Thailand on the frequency FM 105.1MHz from Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

 

On 7th January 2022, Media Prima Audio (MPA) had officially launched Molek FM to target East Coast Malay listeners, and the launch event was held at Sri Pentas.

 

Molek FM broadcasts on the frequency FM 105.1MHz in Kota Bharu and FM 93.6MHz in Kuala Terengganu.

 

Do you know? Molek FM is available in part of Thailand on FM 105.1MHz from Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia.

 

As Kota Bharu is located nearby Thailand border, Molek FM 105.1MHz transmission from TV3 Peringat tower can be received in Thailand.

 

Molek FM 105.1MHz can be received in Thailand by following areas below (based on districts):

1. Tak Bai ตากใบ

2. Sungai Padi สุไหงปาดี

3. Sungai Golok สุไหงโก-ลก

4. Waeng แว้ง

5. Part of Narathiwat เมืองนราธิวาส

Siaran Molek FM boleh juga didengari di Thailand pada FM 105.1MHz dari Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

 

Molek FM sudah dilancarkan secara rasmi pada 7hb Januari 2022. Sidang media pelancaran Molek FM berlangsung di Sri Pentas.

 

Molek FM bersiaran pada frekuensi FM 105.1MHz di Kota Bharu dan 93.6MHz di Kuala Terengganu.

 

Tahukah anda? Molek FM juga boleh didengari di sebahagian kawasan negara Thailand pada FM 105.1MHz dari Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

 

Oleh kerana Kota Bharu terletak berhampiri dengan sempadan negara Thailand, pemancaran Molek FM 105.1MHz dari menara TV3 Peringat boleh diterima di Thailand.

 

Molek FM boleh diterima pada 105.1MHz di kawasan Thailand bawah berikut:

 

1. Daerah Tak Bai ตากใบ (Taba)

2. Daerah Sungai Padi สุไหงปาดี

3. Daerah Sungai Golok สุไหงโก-ลก 

4. Daerah Waeng แว้ง (Rawaeng)

5. Sebahagian Narathiwat เมืองนราธิวาส (Menara)

 

Pendengar di kawasan selatan wilayah Narathiwat, Thailand boleh mendengar siaran Molek FM 105.1MHz.

 

Molek FM. Gu Pantai Timur.

My suggestion of Buletin FM coverage expansion after it closed down Kuala Terengganu and Kota Bharu frequencies.

 

Media Prima Audio's Malay talk radio station Buletin FM had ceased Kuala Terengganu and Kota Bharu broadcast by closing down the transmitters there since 29th November 2021. Its former frequencies in these two locations were shifted to Hot FM in Kota Bharu and Molek FM in Kuala Terengganu.

 

Buletin FM Kota Bharu frequency 88.6MHz becomes Hot FM, and Hot FM original Kota Bharu frequency 105.1MHz becomes Molek FM, meanwhile its Kuala Terengganu frequency 93.6MHz becomes Molek FM.

 

After Buletin FM Kota Bharu and Kuala Terengganu frequencies closed down, it remains only with 4 frequencies such as 101.3MHz in Klang Valley (Bukit Sungai Besi), 90.2MHz in Penang (Bukit Penara), 107.3MHz in Alor Setar (Alor Setar Tower) and 104.3MHz in Kuching (Bukit Djin).

 

With only 4 frequencies, Buletin FM listener rating on FM radio platform will be slightly reduced, but Buletin FM can still expand its coverage in few location.

 

On 1st July 2019, MCMC announced that the regulatory would suspend frequency application from new broadcaster as the frequency replanning study was on going. Until July 2020, the frequency replanning study was completed. I read its 2020 annual report, MCMC stated that no any new frequencies can be assigned in Klang Valley, Penang, Johor Bahru, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and region which located within international coordination.

 

In west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, there are some vacant frequency slots which Buletin FM can still expand to, but new transmitter site, rather than traditional sites.

 

1. Seremban: Bukit Gun

2. Melaka: Bukit Tampin

3. Ipoh: Gunung Kledang

4. Kuantan: Bukit Pelindung

 

About coverage of Bukit Gun and Bukit Tampin, they're smaller than Gunung Telapak Burok and Gunung Ledang.

 

Based on listed coverage area above, there are few frequency slots.

 

1. Bukit Gun (Seremban): 90.9MHz, 91.3MHz, 99.9MHz, 101.1MHz 

2. Bukit Tampin (Melaka): 87.6MHz, 89.1MHz, 103.9MHz 

3. Gunung Kledang (Central Perak): 93.3MHz

4. Bukit Pelindung (Kuantan): 96.5MHz, 98.5MHz, 101.6MHz, 102.2MHz, 106.5MHz

 

Here are my proposal.....

 

1. Buletin FM Seremban frequency

- Frequency: FM 101.1MHz

- Power: 0.5kW

- Transmitter site: Bukit Gun, Negeri Sembilan

- Coverage: Seremban and surrounding areas only

 

100.9MHz: Selangor FM Gunung Ulu Kali

101.1MHz: Buletin FM Bukit Gun

<200kHz, OK>

 

101.1MHz: Buletin FM Bukit Gun

101.3MHz: Buletin FM Bukit Sungai Besi

<200kHz, OK>

 

101.1MHz: Buletin FM Bukit Gun

101.1MHz: Minnal FM Gunung Pulai

<0kHz, OK>

 

101.1MHz: Buletin FM Bukit Gun

101.5MHz: Raaga FM Gunung Telapak Burok

<400kHz, OK> 

 

It is easy for Buletin FM's listeners who travel Seremban to Klang Valley because 101.1MHz and 101.3MHz are same radio station.

 

2. Buletin FM Melaka frequency

- Frequency: FM 87.6MHz

- Power: 1kW

- Transmitter site: Bukit Tampin, Negeri Sembilan

- Coverage: Melaka, Negeri Sembilan (Rembau/Tampin/Port Dickson), and Johor (part of Tangkak/Muar/Segamat) 

 

87.6MHz: Buletin FM Bukit Tampin

87.9MHz: Radio Klasik FM Gunung Telapak Burok

<300kHz, OK>

87.6MHz: Buletin FM Bukit Tampin

87.7MHz: Radio Klasik FM Kuala Lumpur Tower

<100kHz, OK>

87.6MHz: Buletin FM Bukit Tampin

87.8MHz: Sinar FM Gunung Pulai

<200kHz, OK>

 

3. Buletin FM Ipoh frequency

- Frequency: FM 93.3MHz

- Power: 1kW

- Transmitter site: Gunung Kledang, Perak

- Coverage: Ipoh, Kinta, Kampar, Hilir Perak, Manjung, Perak Tengah, and part of Batang Padang/Kuala Kangsar 

93.1MHz: Nasional FM Gunung Brinchang

93.3MHz: Buletin FM Gunung Kledang

<200kHz, OK>

 

93.3MHz: Buletin FM Gunung Kledang

93.6MHz: Hitz FM Bukit Larut

<300kHz, OK>

 

4. Buletin FM Kuantan frequency

- Frequency: FM 101.6MHz

- Power: 2kW

- Transmitter site: Bukit Pelindung, Pahang

- Coverage: Kuantan, Pekan, Gambang and Kemaman

 

101.6MHz: Buletin FM Bukit Pelindung

101.8MHz: MY FM Gunung Ulu Kali

<200kHz, OK>

 

101.5MHz: Raaga FM Gunung Telapak Burok

101.6MHz: Buletin FM Bukit Pelindung

<100kHz, OK>

 

No frequencies are available in Johor Bahru.

 

Apart of proposed coverage for Buletin FM, due to less listeners tune Buletin FM in Kuala Terengganu and Kota Bharu, I don't think Buletin FM will expand coverage to Kuantan because I believe Media Prima Audio will focus on Molek FM in Pahang state, instead bring Buletin FM there, unless Media Prima Audio wants to launch Molek FM and Buletin FM together in Kuantan, Pahang.

 

If Buletin FM expands coverage in the listed areas, the radio station will get 8 frequencies.

Cadangan dan analisis jika Molek FM menambah frekuensi di Gua Musang, Kelantan.

 

Radio Pantai Timur yang baru, Molek FM bakal bersiaran pada masa yang terdekat.

 

Apabila saya mendengar tentang Molek FM, stesen radio ini menjadi tumpuan saya, terutama frekuensi di Pahang (Kuantan).

 

Setelah saya menulis artikel mengenai cadangan saya tentang frekuensi Molek FM di Dungun, Kuantan dan Pahang Barat, kini saya akan menulis tentang cadangan dan analisis frekuensi Molek FM untuk Gua Musang.

 

Di negeri Kelantan, Molek FM bersiaran pada frekuensi FM 105.1MHz (dahulu Hot FM) yang dipancar dari Peringat, ia meliputi Kota Bharu, Tumpat, Tanah Merah, Pasir Puteh, Pasir Mas dan sebahagian Kuala Krai/Jeli dengan kuasa pemancar sebanyak 2kW. 

 

Cuma kawasan Gua Musang tidak diliputi oleh pemancar Molek FM 105.1MHz.

 

Pesaing Molek FM, iaitu Manis FM dan Gegar juga tidak mempunyai frekuensi di Gua Musang.

 

Di Gua Musang, terdapat sebuah tempat pemancar yang sahaja meliputi bandar kecil tersebut, iaitu Bukit Chupak.

 

Bukit Chupak terletak di Bandar Gua Musang. Di tempat pemancar tersebut, ia cuma mempunyai pemancar radio RTM.

 

Terdapat kelebihan dan kekurangan jika Molek FM menambah pemancar di Bukit Chupak untuk meliputi Gua Musang.

 

Kelebihan

1. Pendengar Gua Musang mempunyai pilihan baru untuk mendengari radio.

2. Molek FM boleh bersaing dengan RTM Kelantan FM di Gua Musang.

 

Kekurangan

1. Liputan Bukit Chupak cuma 45000 pendengar radio. Ini menyebabkan Molek FM mempunyai pasaran kecil di Gua Musang.

2. Pemancar Bukit Chupak cuma meliputi Bandar Gua Musang, bukannya seluruh jajahannya termasuk Felda Paloh dan Felda Chiku. Penerimaan radio Bukit Chupak hilang isyarat apabila sampai ke kawasan Rantau Manis (20km dari Bandar Gua Musang).

 

Cadangan saya mengenai frekuensi Molek FM di Gua Musang

- Frekuensi: FM 107.0MHz

- Kuasa: 0.5kW

- Tempat pemancar: Bukit Chupak, Kelantan

 

Analisis frekuensi radio dengan stesen bersebelahan

 

106.7MHz: Ai FM Gunung Ulu Kali

107.0MHz: Molek FM Bukit Chupak

<300kHz, OK>

 

107.0MHz: Molek FM Bukit Chupak

107.2MHz: Kelantan FM Dabong

<200kHz, OK>  

 

Saya membuat perbandingan mengenai liputan Bukit Chupak dengan 0.5kW, 1kW, dan 2kW. Hakikatnya, bilangan pendengar liputan Bukit Chupak antara 0.5kW, 1kW dan 2kW tidak membawa perbezaan besar. 

 

Perbezaan bilangan pendengar cuma 5000 orang.

 

Oleh itu, kuasa pemancar 0.5kW dari Bukit Chupak sudah cukup meliputi Bandar Gua Musang bagi Molek FM. Jika saya mencadangkan kuasa 1kW dan 2kW, cadangan saya boleh menyebabkan pembaziran elektrik. 

 

Molek FM boleh diterima di sedikit bahagian Bandar Gua Musang pada FM 105.1MHz dari Peringat, tetapi isyaratnya amat lemah. Di sini adalah rakaman video penerimaan Hot FM 105.1MHz di stesen lama KTM Gua Musang, Kelantan (sebelum 29hb November 2021).

Frekuensi Molek FM di Gua Musang cuma sekadar cadangan saya, tetapi ia juga terpulang kepada keputusan oleh pihak jurutera Media Prima Audio.

GoXUAN檳城頻道FM 107.6MHz在霹靂安順收到, 它是唯一在霹靂安順收到的檳城Bukit Penara發射的電台.

 

每一年我會來霹靂安順, 一年裡都有1-2次, 霹靂安順是我母親的家鄉, 同時我在霹靂安順有探測遠方電台訊號.

 

2020年1月是我最後一年來霹靂安順, 我收最遠的電台都是來自泰國 (沙敦和也拉), 最遠的北馬電台都是來自Gunung Jerai. 這15年來, 我還沒正式探測和錄製任何檳城Bukit Penara電台.

 

其實我在2007年11月曾經在霹靂安順接收過Bukit Penara電台訊號, 當時我收到的是Fly FM 89.9. 

 

Fly FM 89.9的訊號在安順很吵, 被Traxx FM 90.1MHz怡保Gunung Kledang頻道干擾. 那時候雪隆區英語財經電台BFM 89.9還沒成立, BFM 89.9在2008年9月成立.

 

當時我沒有錄製和開拍其訊號短片因為我沒有具有相機手提電話和YouTube頻道.

BFM 89.9成立後, Fly FM 89.9在安順的訊號完全被蓋完. 從那一刻開始, 我還沒接收其它的Bukit Penara電台訊號.

15年後的2022年, 正巧我的表哥在安順舉辦他的婚禮, 所以我也同時接收得到GoXUAN檳城頻道FM 107.6MHz的訊號, 在室外和室內錄製其訊號短片.

 

在室外, 我並在車內開拍107.6訊號短片, 反而在室內, 我在舅父的家樓上用我的收音機TECSUN PL-380接收GoXUAN FM 107.6MHz訊號.

在安順用107.6來收聽GoXUAN, 訊號是非常弱, 甚至107.6充滿嚴重的電台干擾. 我在安順接收GoXUAN檳城頻道107.6訊號是聽到從Gunung Ulu Kali發射的馬來語電台RTM Pahang FM 107.5MHz干擾.

Pahang FM 107.5MHz主要鎖定彭亨西部, 但雪蘭莪和霹靂南部還可以收到其廣播.

 

截至2022年1月2日, GoXUAN FM 107.6MHz是唯一一家在霹靂安順收到的檳城電台.

 

* 台名: GoXUAN

* 頻率: FM 107.6MHz

* 發射功率: 1kW

* 發射地點: Bukit Penara, Penang

* 接收地點: 霹靂安順Taman Antek Avenue

* 距離: 174公里

 

其實, GoXUAN可以在霹靂安順通過更加清晰的FM 88.9MHz收聽, 88.9的發射地點是在雲頂高原的Gunung Ulu Kali, 其覆蓋範圍涵蓋雪隆區, 霹靂南部, 彭亨西部, 和森美蘭/馬六甲部分地區.

 

 

GoXUAN FM 107.6MHz from Bukit Penara, Penang received in Teluk Intan, Perak, the only Penang transmitted radio station available there.

 

During these 15 years of monitoring distant signal of FM radio stations, and I have been in Teluk Intan annually for more than 20 years, I was not used to record any video of receiving Penang transmitted radio station from Bukit Penara in Teluk Intan, Perak yet.

 

Back to November 2007, I received Fly FM 89.9MHz from Bukit Penara in Teluk Intan by tuning in the car, but I never recorded the signal because I did not have mobile phone, even YouTube channel. During that time, Fly FM 89.9MHz was receivable weakly with interference with Traxx FM 90.1MHz from Gunung Kledang, it happened a year before launching of BFM 89.9 in Greater Klang Valley. 

 

Since BFM 89.9 hit airwaves since September 2008, Fly FM Penang frequency 89.9MHz from Bukit Penara is no longer receivable in Teluk Intan, Perak.

 

After 15 years from my last Bukit Penara FM DX in Teluk Intan, now I receive GoXUAN FM 107.6MHz in Teluk Intan as latest FM DXing video for 2022.

 

From 2007 to 2020, I performed FM DXing in Teluk Intan by receiving the transmitters below:

 

1. Bukit Larut, Perak (since 2007)

2. Gunung Jerai, Kedah (since 2008)

3. Gunung Brinchang, Pahang (since 2009)

4. Changkat Rembian, Tapah, Perak (since 2009)

5. Bukit Asa, Selangor (2019)

6. Felda Terolak Timur, Perak (2019)

7. Ulu Slim, Perak (2020)

8. Gunung Telapak Burok, Negeri Sembilan (2014, 2019, 2020)

9. Kuala Lumpur Tower (2019 & 2020)

10. Sei Rampah, Indonesia (2015, 2019)

11. Khao Pok Yo, Yala, Thailand (2020)

12. Satun, Thailand (2020) 

 

Bukit Penara is the latest transmitter site for my activity of FM DX in Teluk Intan, Perak with GoXUAN FM 107.6MHz.

 

Before launching of GoXUAN in 2017, its frequencies FM 88.9MHz (Klang Valley) and FM 107.6MHz (Penang) were formerly carried by Capital FM until September 2016. Then, Capital FM was acquired by Astro, together with Red FM.

 

GoXUAN FM 107.6MHz is the only Bukit Penara transmitted radio station which I receive in Teluk Intan, Perak, while rest of Bukit Penara radio stations are totally not receivable because their frequencies are used by other radio stations (from Gunung Ulu Kali and Gunung Kledang).

 

I record GoXUAN FM 107.6MHz signal in Teluk Intan at outdoor and indoor. For outdoor, I receive in the car on Nissan Almera N17 radio receiver (Clarion CY23G), meanwhile for indoor, I receive at 1st floor of my uncle's home via TECSUN PL-380.

 

 

Interference with RTM Pahang FM 107.5MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali is detected when I tune to GoXUAN FM 107.6MHz in Teluk Intan, Perak. 

* Station name: GoXUAN

* Frequency: FM 107.6MHz

* Transmitter power: 1kW

* Transmitter site: Bukit Penara, Penang

* Receiving site: Taman Antek Avenue, Teluk Intan, Perak

* Distance: 174km

In fact, GoXUAN can be tuned even clearer and louder in Teluk Intan, Perak by tuning the frequency on FM 88.9MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali.

If Molek FM has no plan to reach Pahang by launching frequencies in Kuantan, Molek FM is recommended to launch 1 more transmitter for Southern Terengganu, either Bukit Bauk or Bukit Kemuning site.

 

It is getting nearer of Molek FM hits Malaysia airwaves. More teaser video of Molek FM are going to be revealed soon.

 

I watch the teaser video. It shows the existing tuning frequencies FM 105.1MHz Kota Bharu and FM 93.6MHz Kuala Terengganu, the graphic shows only two states famous culture.

 

Penyu (turtle) represents Terengganu, meanwhile Wau (Kelantanese kite) is Kelantan.

 

No Pahang famous element graphic is spotted yet.

 

I doubt if Molek FM will expand coverage in Pahang (Kuantan) or not in the future. In my opinion, if Molek FM has no plan to reach its coverage Pahang as it focuses mainly in Kelantan and Terengganu, actually Molek FM should launch 1 more transmitter for Southern Terengganu, either Bukit Bauk (Dungun) or Bukit Kemuning (Kijal) site.

 

Currently Molek FM Kuala Terengganu frequency FM 93.6MHz is transmitted from Bukit Besar, so the coverage of Molek FM is not wide like the competitor (Gegar FM 106.8MHz and Manis FM 102.0MHz) in Terengganu.

 

Gegar FM 106.8MHz and Manis FM 102.0MHz are transmitted from Bukit Jerung in Marang, Terengganu, the coverage of Bukit Jerung is wider, the coverage can reach until Dungun and Besut where Bukit Besar can't reach.

 

Here are the sample coverage map between Bukit Bauk and Bukit Kemuning.

 

1. Bukit Bauk (2kW)

 2. Bukit Kemuning (2kW)

In terms of coverage, Bukit Bauk is wider than Bukit Kemuning actually.

From the coverage map, Bukit Bauk signal can be received from Marang, Terengganu to Beserah, Pahang, meanwhile Bukit Kemuning signal is available from North Kuantan, Pahang till Dungun, Terengganu.

Excluding Pahang state, Bukit Bauk is more ideal to Molek FM when cover Southern Terengganu region. Media Prima's flagship TV channel, TV3 and TV9 were used to have Bukit Bauk transmitter during analogue TV era.

 

TV3 had no analogue TV transmitter in Bukit Kemuning.

Bukit Bauk transmitter tower has only 6 RTM radio stations so far, meanwhile Bukit Kemuning has only 1 RTM radio station (Terengganu FM 90.7MHz) which is low power repeater.

I come out this suggestion because I realize Dungun and Kemaman cannot receive Molek FM 93.6MHz from Kuala Terengganu (Bukit Besar).

If Molek FM launches Dungun frequency, it can reach almost all Terengganu areas.

 

Bukit Bauk has many empty frequencies slots actually, more than Bukit Pelindung from Kuantan.

Indonesia FM radio stations received in Penang, Malaysia!

When I was in Penang few years ago, alongside local radio stations, I received several Thailand radio stations via FM frequencies, from Betong, Yala, Satun, Trang and Songkhla.

Surprisingly someone received Indonesia FM radio stations in Penang. Videos are recorded by Senn Lens in Bayan Lepas.

These Indonesia radio stations are from Medan City, signal captured in Penang, Malaysia through tropospheric propagation.

 

Here are the Indonesia radio stations received in Bayan Lepas, Penang.

* Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Medan PRO-1 FM 94.3MHz (265km)

* Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Medan PRO-2 FM 92.4MHz (265km)

* Radio Suara Medan FM 94.7MHz (266km)

* Radio Mutiara Kartika FM 100.3MHz (266km)

* A-Radio Medan FM 103.8MHz (258km)

* Radio Maria Medan FM 104.2MHz (260km)

 

Among all received Indonesia radio stations, RRI Medan PRO-2 FM 92.4MHz and Radio Maria FM 104.2MHz are the clearest in Bayan Lepas, Penang. Although Radio Maria FM 104.2MHz is receivable in Bayan Lepas, but interference from Perak FM 104.1MHz Bukit Larut is minimal because Perak FM operates at low power transmission as much 250W to cover Northwest Perak only, so Radio Maria FM 104.2MHz from Medan, Indonesia easily overspill to Penang during tropospheric propagation.

 

RRI Medan PRO-1 FM 94.3MHz is having interference from 988 FM 94.5MHz Bukit Penara transmitter.

 

Radio Mutiara Kartika FM 100.3MHz is having interference from MY FM 100.2MHz Bukit Larut transmitter. 

 

Suara Medan FM 94.7MHz is weak in Bayan Lepas.
