Radio stations in Dalat, Sarawak

After having Kolo Mee breakfast in Mukah town, I continued my journey to Dalat as my final radio DXing location in Sarawak before heading back to Sibu. 

 

Dalat is another small town in Mukah Division, it is ultra far from Sibu by driving via Selangau and Mukah, there is no shortcut from Sibu to Dalat at all, this makes me to feel very far to travel both towns.

 

For radio signal monitoring, Dalat is better than Mukah actually. 

 

In Dalat, RTM radio stations are still covered by Mukah transmitter, but the radio stations from Bukit Singgalang and Bukit Setiam are still receivable there. Sibu commercial radio stations like Tea FM, Era Sarawak, MY FM and Hitz are receivable in Dalat, signals are moderately weak.

 

The radio reception of Tea FM, Era Sarawak, MY FM and Hitz in Dalat are MONO signal actually.

 

1. Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz (53km from Bukit Lima)

 

2. Hitz FM 105.1MHz (53km from Bukit Lima)

 

 

3. MY FM 105.9MHz (53km from Bukit Lima)

 

4. Tea FM 100.7MHz (53km from Bukit Lima)

 

5. RTM Bintulu FM 97.5MHz (112km from Bukit Setiam)

Videos were recorded at Dalat Waterfront, opposite of Kampung Brunei Dalat by using TECSUN PL-310ET radio receiver.

 

RTM Sarawak FM in Dalat is tuned on 89.9MHz from TM Mukah, formerly it had a local frequency on 96.9MHz, but Sarawak FM 96.9MHz from Stesen Dalat was already terminated its transmission. 

 

From Dalat to Mukah via Oya, Bukit Lima transmitted Sibu radio stations become weak near Oya, Sarawak. It is very interesting whether MY FM 105.9, Hitz 105.1, Tea FM 100.7 and Era Sarawak 96.3 from Bukit Lima could be tuned in other towns like Daro, Igan and Matu or not, but I have no chance to reach those areas because they are very far from Mukah and Sibu, somehow Daro has no road access without ferry.

 

Dalat town is very quiet actually. If you want to get rid of stress from the city, this town is recommended for you. 

==List of radio stations in Dalat, Sarawak==

* RTM Radio Klasik FM 88.3MHz Mukah/93.3MHz Bukit Singgalang

* RTM Nasional FM 89.1MHz Mukah

* RTM Sarawak FM 89.9MHz Mukah

* RTM Traxx FM 90.7MHz Mukah

* RTM Ai FM 91.5MHz Mukah

* RTM Red FM 92.3MHz Mukah

Radio stations in Mukah, Sarawak

 

Mukah was part of my location list in FM DX: Sarawak 2025 (PART 1). It is very far traveling from Sibu to this town. When I was in Mukah, I tried my luck of radio DXing and had a simple breakfast there.

Mukah has more Melanau and Malay people, compare to other towns of Sarawak like Sibu, Bintulu and Simanggang. In my opinion, Mukah is not the good location of me to conduct radio DXing because many frequencies are interfered by local radio stations due to intermodulation interference.

In Mukah, Hitz FM 105.1MHz, MY FM 105.9MHz and Tea FM 100.7MHz from Bukit Lima had zero signal, meanwhile Era FM Sarawak FM 96.3MHz had very weak signal and possibly frequency leakage from Cats FM. 

 

Actually Hitz FM 105.1MHz and MY FM 105.9MHz had a strong intermodulation interference of Cats FM where I believed the signal of Cats FM 97.9MHz in TM Mukah tower leaks the signal to other frequency band. 

TM Mukah tower is located in the vicinity of Mukah town, so the people will hear the intermodulation interference from Cats FM when tune Hitz FM 105.1 and MY FM 105.9 in Mukah.

Regarding the radio stations in Mukah, this town can only tune RTM radio stations and Cats FM 97.9MHz where are transmitted from Mukah, but Bintulu radio stations from Bukit Setiam could be tuned there.

Bukit Singgalang radio stations are available in Mukah, but signal is not too clear.

 

1. Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz (74km from Bukit Lima)

Note: Potentially Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz has frequency leakage noise of Cats FM in Mukah, but I had caught its signal successfully outside the town before heading to Dalat.

 

2. RTM Sibu FM 102.1MHz (51km from Bukit Singgalang)

In Mukah, RTM Sibu FM can be tuned on 98.7MHz.

 

3. RTM Bintulu FM 97.5MHz (92km from Bukit Setiam)

By comparing with other locations in Sarawak like Sibu and Sri Aman, I made very less radio signal monitoring videos in Mukah, Sarawak because Mukah has very less distant radio stations. Therefore, I only made 3 videos there before eating Minced Chicken Mee Kolok with black sauce at a Malay restaurant around 9.45am.

 

==List of radio stations in Mukah, Sarawak==

* RTM Radio Klasik FM 88.3MHz Mukah

* RTM Nasional FM 89.1MHz Mukah

* RTM Sarawak FM 89.9MHz Mukah

* RTM Traxx FM 90.7MHz Mukah

* RTM Ai FM 91.5MHz Mukah

* RTM Red FM 92.3MHz Mukah

* RTM Sibu FM 98.7MHz Mukah

* RTM Bintulu FM 97.5MHz Bukit Setiam (OK)

* Cats FM 97.9MHz Mukah

The furthest radio station tuned in Mukah, Sarawak is Bintulu FM 97.5MHz from Bukit Setiam.

I don't stop in Mukah for longer duration because there are no much of DX radio stations there, so I went to Dalat immediately after having breakfast in Mukah.

RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan 106.1MHz from Gunung Serapi is the furthest radio station tuned in Sarikei, Sarawak.

In Sarikei, alongside RTM radio stations and Cats FM, I had managed to tune 4 commercial radio stations from Sibu's Bukit Lima such as Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz, Hitz FM 105.1MHz, MY FM 105.9MHz and Tea FM 100.7MHz with moderate signal. However, I also could receive RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan signal in Sarikei, Sarawak on the frequency 106.1MHz from Gunung Serapi.

Technically RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan 106.1MHz Gunung Serapi transmitter can be tuned moderately in Saratok, Roban, Pusa and Kabong where are located at northern part of Betong Division. Surprisingly, Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan 106.1MHz could be detected in Sarikei, Sarawak with weak signal.

The signal was very weak in Sarikei town, but it was moderately clear at some areas outside the vicinity of Sarikei town center when I was heading from Pan Borneo Highway to Sarikei town center.

Receiving distance from Gunung Serapi to Sarikei is 161km, RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan becomes the furthest radio station in Sarikei, Sarawak.

* Frequency: FM 106.1MHz

* Power: 1kW

* Transmitter site: Gunung Serapi, Kuching, Sarawak

* Receiving site: Sarikei, Sarawak

* Distance: 158-161km

Meanwhile RTM Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz from Gunung Serapi had no signal in Sarikei, both Iban and Bidayuh radio stations are using different transmitter and antenna systems in Gunung Serapi. It seems that RTM Wai FM Bidayuh 106.1MHz has wider coverage than Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz.

 

Malay commercial radio station Hot FM 94.3MHz from Gunung Serapi has no signal in Sarikei town, but it has signal near Pakan.

On Pan Borneo Highway within Sarikei Division, I also could detect RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan signal on 106.1MHz near Pakan area when I was heading back to Sibu, Sarawak, the tuning distance is about 168km.

List of the radio stations in Kanowit, Sarawak

 

Kanowit was my first destination in Central Sarawak after landing at Sibu Airport. When I got a car that I rented for 3 days after paying to the car rental company at Sibu Airport, the first thing to do was driving to Kanowit town for having late breakfast and radio signal monitoring.

Kanowit is a small town in Sibu Division, it takes 45 minutes drive from Sibu town, meanwhile 35 minutes from the airport. It is a popular stopover town in between Sibu and Kapit where many people will stop in Kanowit for meals and rest before driving to Kapit. 

Compare to other towns near Sibu, Kanowit is not a good town to receive tune a clear signal radio station, it is the blindspot coverage of Bukit Lima and Bukit Singgalang radio transmitters.

In Kanowit, the only clearest radio station is RTM Sarawak FM 107.1MHz, transmitted from Bukit Memaloh, meanwhile Nasional FM 104.5MHz is having transmission issue on its audio feeds. 

Sibu commercial radio stations from Bukit Lima such as Tea FM 100.7MHz, MY FM 105.9MHz, Hitz FM 105.1MHz and Era FM 96.3MHz are very difficult to be tuned in Kanowit, Sarawak. For Cats FM, 88.4MHz from Bukit Lima has no signal, meanwhile 99.9MHz from Bukit Singgalang has moderately weak signal.

Before and after the breakfast, I managed to record 10 radio signal monitoring videos in Kanowit, Sarawak.

1. RTM Sibu FM/Wai FM Iban 102.1MHz from Bukit Singgalang (40km)

2. RTM Traxx FM 95.9MHz from Bukit Singgalang (40km)

3. RTM Ai FM 97.1MHz from Bukit Singgalang (40km)

4. RTM Red FM 101.1MHz from Bukit Singgalang (40km)

5. Cats FM 99.9MHz from Bukit Singgalang (40km)

6. Era FM 96.3MHz from Bukit Lima (39km)

7. Hitz FM 105.1MHz from Bukit Lima (39km)

8. MY FM 105.9MHz from Bukit Lima (39km)

9. Tea FM 100.7MHz from Bukit Lima (39km)

10. RTM Sarawak FM 107.1MHz Bukit Memaloh (0.5km)

In my opinion, Kanowit town is a Sarawak version of Sungai Siput (U), Perak in terms of radio reception. In Sungai Siput (U), Bukit Larut and Gunung Kledang transmitters have weak coverage, RTM launched a gap filler transmitter there for Radio Klasik and Nasional FM.

Bukit Lima and Bukit Singgalang radio stations only show MONO signal because they're not clear in Kanowit, but Bukit Singgalang has more signal than Bukit Lima there by having comparison. Hence, to serve Kanowit community, RTM can add more radio stations in Kanowit transmitter by applying more new frequencies.

So, I conclude a detail list of radio stations in Kanowit, Sarawak.

* RTM Radio Klasik FM 93.3MHz Bukit Singgalang (weak signal)

* RTM Nasional FM 104.5MHz Kanowit

* RTM Sarawak FM 107.1MHz Kanowit

* RTM Traxx FM 95.9MHz Bukit Singgalang (weak signal)

* RTM Ai FM 97.1MHz Bukit Singgalang (weak signal)

* RTM Red FM 101.1MHz Bukit Singgalang (weak signal)

* RTM Sibu FM 102.1MHz Bukit Singgalang (weak signal)

* Cats FM 99.9MHz Bukit Singgalang (moderately weak)

* Hitz FM 105.1MHz Bukit Lima (weak signal)

* MY FM 105.9MHz Bukit Lima (weak signal)

* Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz Bukit Lima (weak signal)

* Tea FM 100.7MHz Bukit Lima (weak signal)

RTM (Radio Televisyen Malaysia) Sarawak should switch Nasional FM Kanowit frequency 104.5MHz to Sibu FM/Wai FM Iban to cater more local listeners in Kanowit, Sarawak.

 

RTM Sarawak launched two radio stations, Nasional FM 104.5MHz and Sarawak FM 107.1MHz in Kanowit, Sarawak by installing the transmitters in Bukit Memaloh because Kanowit cannot receive Bukit Lima and Bukit Singgalang radio stations clearly.

Kanowit is a small town in Sibu Division, it is a busy town on weekend and festival seasons because many people who go to Kapit will stop there before continuing their journey.

When I was in Kanowit, Sarawak, I could only tune RTM Sarawak FM 107.1MHz as the clearest frequency, meanwhile Nasional FM 104.5MHz had audio feed issue. For the rest RTM radio stations, I had to tune them via Bukit Singgalang transmitter.

Between Bukit Singgalang and Bukit Lima, the signal from Bukit Singgalang is slightly better than Bukit Lima in Kanowit town when I tuned Ai FM, Traxx FM, Radio Klasik, Nasional FM, Red FM and Sibu FM.

As Kanowit has many Iban people, RTM Sibu FM/Wai FM Iban is not so clear there. In Kanowit, RTM Sibu FM/Wai FM Iban is tuned on 102.1MHz from Bukit Singgalang, but the signal is not so clear, meanwhile 87.6MHz from Bukit Lima is weaker than 102.1MHz.

In my opinion, by not applying new frequency for RTM Sibu FM/Wai FM Iban in Kanowit, I suggest RTM Sarawak to cease Nasional FM broadcast and replace with Sibu FM/Wai FM Iban because Sibu FM/Wai FM Iban is more localized than Nasional FM in Kanowit, Sarawak.

Between Nasional FM and Sibu FM/Wai FM Iban, I think Sibu FM/Wai FM Iban is more important than Nasional FM in Kanowit, Sarawak. 

To listen to RTM national news, RTM Sarawak FM 107.1MHz is available on selected hours.

If RTM switches Nasional FM Kanowit frequency 104.5MHz to Sibu FM/Wai FM Iban, the Kanowit's Iban people can tune to Wai FM Iban clearly, so the radio reception of Sibu FM 104.5MHz will be clearer than 102.1MHz in Kanowit, Sarawak.

 

I hope RTM Sarawak will launch Sibu FM's Kanowit frequency by taking over Nasional FM's slot (104.5MHz).

 

The radio reception of Hitz FM 105.1MHz, MY FM 105.9MHz, Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz and Tea FM 100.7MHz in Sarikei, Sarawak

Except Cats FM, from 2017 to 2019, there were 4 commercial radio stations launched in Sibu, Sarawak such as Hitz FM 105.1MHz, MY FM 105.9MHz, Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz and Tea FM 100.7MHz. These radio stations are transmitted from Bukit Lima, covering Sibu town and surrounding areas only like Julau, Bintangor.

Hitz FM 105.1MHz, MY FM 105.9MHz, Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz and Tea FM 100.7MHz are still available in Sarikei, but moderate radio signal.

 

Here are my videos of tuning Sibu commercial radio stations (except Cats FM) in Sarikei, Sarawak.

1. Hitz FM 105.1MHz

2. MY FM 105.9MHz

3. Tea FM 100.7MHz

4. Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz

Receiving distance from Bukit Lima to Sarikei is about 39km.

Based on the videos above, the Bukit Lima transmitted radio stations are moderate in Sarikei. From Sibu to Sri Aman, these radio stations can be only received up to Sarikei, Sarawak, then zero signal beyond Sarikei.

Despite Wai FM Iban late morning (also known as brunch) program "Wai 9-12" can be tuned in Sri Aman and Betong Division, Sarawak via frequency transmission when Sri Aman FM airs Malay local program.

In Sri Aman and Betong Division, Sarawak, RTM Wai FM Iban is mostly available through Sri Aman FM, except 9am to 12pm slot due to Malay local program.

Sri Aman FM relays Wai FM Iban everyday from 12am to 9am, then 12pm to 12am, except Ramadan month from 6pm to 7pm. From 9am to 12pm, Sri Aman FM has Malay language local program, Spektra 9-12, so RTM Wai FM Iban is not available on Sri Aman FM.

However, in Sri Aman and Betong, alongside RTM Klik, Astro and MYTV platform, the listeners can tune to Wai 9-12 on Wai FM Iban via frequencies transmission by tuning on 101.3MHz from Kuching and SW 11665kHz from RTM Kajang.

Here are the radio reception videos of tuning Wai FM Iban in Sri Aman and Betong Divisions, I mostly tuned on 101.3MHz from Gunung Serapi because 106.9MHz Gunung Ampungan has no signal there.

1. Simanggang, Sarawak (147km)

 

2. Betong, Sarawak (151km)

3. Engkilili, Sarawak (172km)

4. Spaoh, Sarawak (145km)

5. Debak, Sarawak (138km)

6. Saratok, Sarawak (129km)

7. Roban, Sarawak (129km)

By conducting overall radio signal monitoring of RTM Wai FM Iban in these 7 locations via 101.3MHz from Gunung Serapi (meanwhile 106.9MHz Gunung Ampungan has no signal), the FM 101.3MHz is not a good alternative frequency to be tuned by the listeners for Wai 9-12 segment in Sri Aman and Betong, but SW 11665kHz is the best alternative frequency.

 

The weakest coverage of Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz are Betong and Spaoh, meanwhile it has better signal in Roban and Saratok.

 

To tune RTM Wai FM Iban's brunch radio program "Wai 9-12" outside Kuching and Serian via frequency transmission, I strongly recommend to tune the radio on shortwave broadcast on SW 11665kHz which is very clear in entire Sarawak. Cheap shortwave radio receivers are mostly available at electric shops in Sarawak, the listeners can tune digitally via RTM Klik, Astro CH 871 or MYTV CH710.

RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan signal monitoring in Sri Aman and Betong Divisions, Sarawak.

RTM Wai FM Bidayuh and Radio Kayan celebrate 15 years anniversary as an individual radio station in 2025 by launching new frequencies in Kuching and Serian. Before this, Wai FM Bidayuh and Radio Kayan were shared together with Wai FM Iban on FM 101.3MHz in Kuching and FM 106.9MHz in Serian. 

 

Since 2010, Wai FM Bidayuh and Radio Kayan were no longer shared with Iban because Wai FM Bidayuh and Radio Kayan were given new frequencies, so the 101.3MHz in Kuching and 106.9MHz in Serian became Wai FM Iban.

Wai FM Bidayuh and Radio Kayan broadcast on FM 106.1MHz in Kuching, meanwhile FM 101.7MHz in Serian.

 

Unlike Wai FM Iban, in terms of coverage, Wai FM Bidayuh and Radio Kayan are only available in Kuching and Serian without coverage expansion to entire Sarawak because most of Bidayuh people stay in Kuching and Serian, except migrants to other divisions of Sarawak.

 

Outside Kuching and Serian, Wai FM Iban is available in entire Sarawak region through local radio stations relay (Sri Aman FM, Sibu FM, Miri FM, Bintulu FM and Limbang FM), but Wai FM Iban broadcast on local radio stations are not full fledged in favor of several local program, hence several airtime of Wai FM Iban is not available certainly.

Compare to Wai FM Iban, in my opinion, Wai FM Bidayuh and Radio Kayan are niche radio station actually. Although Wai FM Bidayuh and Radio Kayan are only available in Kuching and Serian through frequencies transmission, but they are also available in Sri Aman and Betong Divisions.

From 18th to 20th May 2025, I visited Sarawak by coming to Sibu, Mukah, Sri Aman, Betong and Sarikei Divisions. On 19th May 2025, I conducted the radio signal monitoring of Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan in 6 locations of Sri Aman and Betong Divisions, mostly on the frequency 106.1MHz from Gunung Serapi, meanwhile 101.7MHz Gunung Ampungan transmitter is hard to be tuned in these locations.

1. Simanggang, Sarawak

* Tuning frequency: 106.1MHz Gunung Serapi & 101.7MHz Gunung Ampungan

* Distance: 147km (for 106.1MHz) & 94km (for 101.7MHz)

* Result: 106.1MHz is slightly stronger than 101.7MHz

2. Betong, Sarawak 

* Tuning frequency: 106.1MHz Gunung Serapi

* Distance: 151km

* Result: 106.1MHz signal is extremely weak

3. Engkilili, Sarawak

* Tuning frequency: 106.1MHz Gunung Serapi & 101.7MHz Gunung Ampungan

* Distance: 172km (for 106.1MHz); 112km (for 101.7MHz)

* Result: 106.1MHz is slightly stronger than 101.7MHz

4. Spaoh, Sarawak 

* Tuning frequency: 106.1MHz Gunung Serapi & 101.7MHz Gunung Ampungan

* Distance: 145km (for 106.1MHz); 102km (for 101.7MHz)

* Result: Both are difficultly tuned in Spaoh, but 106.1MHz has more signal than 101.7MHz

5. Debak, Sarawak

* Tuning frequency: 106.1MHz Gunung Serapi

* Distance: 138km

6. Saratok, Sarawak

* Tuning frequency: 106.1MHz Gunung Serapi

* Distance: 129km

7. Roban, Sarawak

 

* Tuning frequency: 106.1MHz Gunung Serapi

* Distance: 129km

Videos are recorded in 4K HDR resolution by using Sony Xperia 5 V smartphone.

In Sri Aman and Betong Divisions, I tuned to Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan mostly on 106.1MHz from Gunung Serapi because 101.7MHz from Gunung Ampungan is very weak and almost zero signal.

 

Betong and Spaoh are the weakest coverage of RTM Wai FM Bidayuh, regardless 106.1MHz or 101.7MHz. FM 101.7MHz from Gunung Ampungan has no signal mostly in Betong, Spaoh, Roban, Saratok and Debak. In Engkilili, 106.1MHz has better signal than 101.7MHz.

Overall from Sri Aman to Roban, Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan on 106.1MHz has more signal than 101.7MHz. On Pan Borneo Highway, Wai FM Bidayuh 101.7MHz Gunung Ampungan transmitter only covers from Serian until Melugu.

 

Dear all Bidayuh and Kayan radio listeners, by driving from Kuching to Sibu/Bintulu/Miri via Pan Borneo Highway, Wai FM Bidayuh and Radio Kayan can be tuned from Simanggang until Roban and Sarikei through frequency transmission on 106.1MHz, but weak signal.

List of radio stations in Sri Aman, Sarawak (Simanggang)

 

From 18th May 2025 to 20th May 2025, I was in Sarawak to conduct radio DXing in 12 locations, covering Sibu, Kanowit, Sarikei, Simanggang, Engkilili, Betong, Saratok, Roban, Mukah, Debak, Spaoh and Dalat.

 

On the 2nd day of my Sarawak trip, I drove to Simanggang (Sri Aman) from Sibu, then I visited my friend in Betong.

 

Simanggang is the capital of Sri Aman Division, it takes 3 hours drive from Sibu via PAN Borneo Highway. Simanggang is a relaxing town in Sarawak. The postcode of Simanggang is 95000.

 

For radio stations, the listeners can only tune to RTM radio channels (Radio Klasik FM 107.3MHz, Nasional FM 98.9MHz, Sarawak FM 100.3MHz, Traxx FM 103.8MHz, Ai FM 105.3MHz, Red FM 106.3MHz and Sri Aman FM 89.5MHz) and Cats FM 88.7MHz in Simanggang where are transmitted from Bukit Temudok. Alongside the local radio station from Bukit Temudok, I can receive several weak radio stations from Kuching (Gunung Serapi/Bukit Djin/Bukit Antu), Sarikei (Bukit Kayu Malam) and Off Spaoh in Simanggang town, Sarawak.

On 19th May 2025, I tuned to 8 Kuching radio stations and 1 Sarikei radio station in Simanggang town by following below.

 

1. Kupi-Kupi FM 92.5MHz (128km from Bukit Djin)

 

2. Hot FM 94.3MHz (147km from Gunung Serapi) 

Hot FM 94.3MHz is still receivable in Simanggang, but adjacent channel interference noise of RTM Sarawak FM 94.4MHz from Off Spaoh transmitter was heard during my radio signal monitoring of Hot FM 94.3MHz.

 

3. Eight FM 98.3MHz (128km from Bukit Djin)

 

4. Bernama Radio FM 100.9MHz (128km from Bukit Antu)

 

5. RTM Wai FM Iban FM 101.3MHz (147km from Gunung Serapi)

Note: 106.9MHz from Bukit Ampungan has no signal in Simanggang, Sarawak. 

6. RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan 106.1MHz (147km from Gunung Serapi)

 

I compared the signal between 106.1MHz (Gunung Serapi) and 101.7MHz (Gunung Ampungan Serian) in Simanggang town, RTM Wai FM Bidayuh 106.1MHz signal is slightly better than 101.7MHz, but I don't hear adjacent channel interference noise of RTM Red FM 106.3MHz from Bukit Temudok because my TECSUN PL-380 is high sensitivity radio receiver where I can detect less interference noise.

 

7. Tea FM 102.7MHz (128km from Bukit Antu)

 

8. Kool 101 FM 104.3MHz (143km from Bukit Djin)

 

9. RTM Sibu FM 94.6MHz (68km from Bukit Kayu Malam)

 

None of Astro radio stations from Bukit Djin, Kuching (eg: Sinar FM, MY FM, Mix FM, Lite FM, Melody FM, Hitz FM and Era FM Sarawak) are receivable in Sri Aman, meanwhile IKIM FM 93.7MHz has no signal there too.

 

In Simanggang town, 

* Era FM 96.1MHz is null by RTM Ai FM 96.0MHz Off Spaoh transmitter

* Sinar FM 102.1MHz has no signal totally 

* MY FM 96.9MHz has no signal totally

* Hitz FM 95.3MHz is null by RTM Traxx FM 95.2MHz Off Spaoh transmitter

* Mix FM 97.7MHz is null by RTM Red FM 97.8MHz Off Spaoh transmitter

* Lite FM 100.1MHz has no signal totally and leaves adjacent frequency noise of RTM Sarawak FM 100.3MHz from Bukit Temudok

* Melody FM 103.7MHz is null by RTM Traxx FM 103.8MHz from Bukit Temudok

* IKIM FM 93.7MHz is null by RTM Nasional FM 93.6MHz Off Spaoh transmitter

 

Compare to Sibu, Bintulu, Mukah and Betong, in my opinion, Simanggang is the best Sarawak town for radio DXing activity. 

Here is a full list of the radio stations in Simanggang, Sarawak.

* RTM Radio Klasik FM 107.3MHz Bukit Temudok

* RTM Nasional FM 98.9MHz Bukit Temudok

* RTM Sarawak FM 100.3MHz Bukit Temudok

* RTM Traxx FM 103.8MHz Bukit Temudok

* RTM Wai FM Bidayuh FM 106.1MHz Gunung Serapi Kuching (weak)/101.7MHz Gunung Ampungan (super weak)

* RTM Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz Gunung Serapi Kuching (weak)

Hot FM boleh diterima di Saratok, Roban dan sebahagian Bahagian Sri Aman pada frekuensi FM 94.3MHz yang dipancar dari Gunung Serapi (Kuching).

Tahukah anda? Stesen radio no.1 di Malaysia, Hot FM boleh didengari di kawasan utara Bahagian Betong dan sebahagian kawasan Bahagian Sri Aman, Sarawak pada frekuensi FM 94.3MHz.

Di Sarawak, Hot FM bersiaran di Kuching pada frekuensi FM 94.3MHz, kawasan liputan utamanya ialah Kuching, Kota Samarahan, Lundu, Bau, Simunjan, Sematan, Sebuyau, Asajaya dan sebahagian Serian.

Di Bahagian Betong, Hot FM 94.3MHz boleh didengari di Saratok, Pusa, Kabong dan Roban, manakala di Bahagian Sri Aman, saya boleh menerima siaran Hot FM di Engkilili and Simanggang.

Di Debak dan Simanggang, Hot FM 94.3MHz mempunyai gangguan frekuensi dengan RTM Sarawak FM 94.4MHz dari Off Spaoh.

Di Lebuhraya PAN Borneo, dari Kuching ke Sibu, radio Hot FM 94.3MHz boleh didengari sehingga Simanggang (Sri Aman). Gangguan frekuensi dengan Sarawak FM 94.4MHz bermula dari Sri Aman sehingga Debak, tetapi siaran Hot FM 94.3MHz tidak dapat didengari sepenuhnya di Spaoh akibat frekuensi Sarawak FM 94.4MHz. Selepas itu, Hot FM 94.3MHz boleh diterima siaran lagi dari Debak sehingga Roban.

Berbanding antara Saratok dan Simanggang, Hot FM 94.3MHz lebih jelas di Saratok tanpa gangguan frekuensi dengan Sarawak FM 94.4MHz.

Terdapat rakaman video saya yang menerima siaran Hot FM 94.3MHz di Bahagian Sri Aman dan Betong, Sarawak.

詩巫私營中文電台MY FM 105.9MHz和TEA FM 100.7MHz在砂拉越泗里街 Sarikei的收現狀況

在砂拉越泗里街, 當地基本上只能收到兩家國營中文電台, 愛FM 93.6MHz和Red FM 89.2MHz, 這兩家電台是從泗里街郊外區的Bukit Kayu Malam發射.

Tea FM 100.7MHz和MY FM 105.9MHz各自在2017年及2019年在砂拉越詩巫廣播, 從詩巫市中心的Bukit Lima發射, 主要覆蓋詩巫和周邊地區, 但據說這兩家電台還可以在泗里街收到廣播, 可是訊號不太清楚.

 

2025年5月18日, 我抵達詩巫, 但我也來到其他的砂拉越地區, 入住詩巫酒店之前, 我先往泗里街探測詩巫電台訊號, 主要焦點放在私營電台因為這些電台沒有在泗里街設有頻道, 但在泗里街仍然有訊號.

 

以下是我在泗里街錄製MY FM 105.9MHz和TEA FM 100.7MHz的訊號短片.

 

1. MY FM 105.9MHz

 

2. TEA FM 100.7MHz

 

在泗里街, MY FM 105.9MHz比較清楚，但TEA FM 100.7MHz的訊號其實不理想.

 

從詩巫去斯里阿曼, 這兩家詩巫私營電台最遠只能在泗里街聽到.
