THR Gegar boleh didengari di Johor pada FM 88.8MHz dengan melalui radio?

Setakat ini, stesen radio bahasa Melayu yang dimiliki oleh Astro Radio untuk pendengar Pantai Timur, Gegar (THR Gegar) bersiaran di Pahang Timur, Terengganu dan Kelantan Utara, tetapi Gegar boleh didengari di sebahagian negeri Johor pada frekuensi FM 88.8MHz yang dipancar dari Bukit Pelindung.

Secara umumnya, pendengar di luar kawasan Pantai Timur perlu mendengar Gegar pada Astro DVR Saluran 863 atau applikasi Syok secara online. Di kawasan Segamat, selain daripada Astro CH863 dan applikasi Syok, Gegar boleh didengari pada FM 88.8MHz dari Bukit Pelindung, tetapi kualiti isyarat radio tersebut mungkin kurang jelas dan kemungkinan ia berlaku gangguan oleh Traxx FM 88.7MHz dari Gunung Telapak Burok.

Selain daripada Segamat, Gegar FM 88.8MHz boleh didengari di Simpang Renggam, tetapi penerimaan di Simpang Renggam lebih lemah daripada Segamat.

Di sini, terdapat dua rakaman video mengenai penerimaan siaran THR Gegar FM 88.8MHz di Johor.

Secara kesimpulannya, bagi kawasan liputan FM 88.8MHz Bukit Pelindung, selain daripada Kuantan, Beserah, Pekan, Gambang, dan Muadzam Shah, THR Gegar FM 88.8MHz boleh didengari di sebahagian Johor (Segamat).

Sejak pesaingnya Gegar, iaitu Manis FM telah memperluaskan kawasan liputannya ke Pahang Tengah dengan FM 103.8MHz dari Bukit Senggora, saya berharap Astro Radio akan "melawan balik" Manis FM dengan menambah pemancar di Bukit Fraser (107.9MHz) untuk Bentong, Raub, Lipis, Temerloh, Bera dan Chenor, dan satu pemancar di Bukit Senggora (cadangan 100.8MHz) untuk Maran dan Jerantut.

Astro THR Gegar is available in Johor via FM radio 88.8MHz?

Astro Malay language east coast radio station, Gegar is currently available in North Kelantan, Terengganu and East Pahang, but actually some of Johor areas can receive Gegar through FM radio.

In Segamat, apart of Astro DVR CH863, Gegar can be listened via FM 88.8MHz from Bukit Pelindung, Kuantan, but the reception of THR Gegar in Segamat is less clear and it may have interference from Traxx FM 88.7MHz Gunung Telapak Burok.

Here is the video that I help my friend from Segamat to publish on YouTube:

Alongside Segamat, THR Gegar FM 88.8MHz from Bukit Pelindung is also received in Simpang Renggam, Johor, but it is not clear as received in Segamat. If Gegar FM 88.8MHz Bukit Pelindung transmitter is increased to 2kW and added with more bays antennas, the coverage could be much wider and overspill to many part of Northeast Johor region.

In conclusion, outside of east coast, THR Gegar can be tuned in part of Johor (mainly Segamat) on FM 88.8MHz from Bukit Pelindung.

Since its rival radio station Manis FM already expanded coverage to Central Pahang on 103.8MHz from Bukit Senggora, I suggest Astro Radio to expand Gegar coverage to West Pahang by installing transmitter in Fraser's Hill at 1kW power on FM 107.9MHz. So, the coverage of Gegar will be wider than Manis FM in Pahang.

Malaysia FM radio station from Kota Kinabalu received in Shimane, Japan?

On YouTube, if you follow and subscribe a Japanese DXer channel, named DFS VHF Shimane Japan, recently this YouTuber publishes his FM radio station receiving signal from Malaysia.

The videos are recorded in Shimane, Japan, the Malaysia radio stations that DFS VHF Shimane Japan that received there are:

1. KK12FM 89.5MHz

2. RTM Sabah FM 89.9MHz

3. RTM Nasional FM 88.9MHz

Three of the Malaysia radio stations that received in Japan are transmitted from Kota Kinabalu, KK12FM 89.5MHz is from Bukit Karatong, meanwhile RTM Sabah FM 89.9MHz and Nasional FM 88.9MHz are from Lawa Mandau, both transmission sites are within the hill.

The transmitting distance from Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia to Shimane, Japan is about 3630km! These DXing are much freak and unbelieavble. If you watch KK12FM 89.5MHz receiving signal video in Shimane, Japan, the KK12FM official YouTube channel comment on the video.

Here are the videos:

RTM Selangor FM owns two sub-radio stations technically for universities campus, such as UFM 93.6MHz (UiTM Shah Alam) and Putra FM 90.7MHz (UPM)

RTM (Radio Televisyen Malaysia) Selangor FM broadcasts on 100.9MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali for Selangor state, it is also available in Southern Perak, West Pahang (Bentong) and part of Negeri Sembilan/Melaka on same frequency. However, technically RTM Selangor FM has two sub stations as campus radio.

The sub-radio stations of Selangor FM that I mention are UiTM Shah Alam UFM 93.6MHz and UPM Putra FM 90.7MHz.

 

UPM Putra FM 90.7MHz is also known as RTM Selangor FM Saluran UPM, actually it is part of RTM Selangor FM, thus it is UPM campus radio station. This is because UPM (Universiti Putra Malaysia) and RTM signed MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) to launch Putra FM 90.7MHz on April 1998. In technical terms, Putra FM 90.7MHz transmitter and antenna systems are owned by UPM itself, but the frequency is owned by RTM (Jabatan Penyiaran Malaysia).

Next, UiTM Shah Alam UFM 93.6MHz, unofficially it is known as RTM Selangor FM Saluran UiTM Shah Alam, but during UFM 93.6MHz early broadcast, it was known as Radio 3 Shah Alam Siaran ITM (former name of UiTM) in 1997, then renamed to Radio Malaysia Selangor Siaran ITM. Later, it was renamed to Trek 936, now UFM 93.6 since 2001.

The former name of Selangor FM was Radio 3 Shah Alam and Radio Malaysia Selangor in 1990's till 2005, but UiTM UFM 93.6MHz first name was RTM Radio 3 Shah Alam Siaran ITM. It is first sub-station of Selangor FM (Radio 3 Shah Alam in 1990's) as Malaysia first campus radio station before Putra FM. Technically, same as Putra FM, although transmitter and antenna system of UFM 93.6MHz are belonged to UiTM Shah Alam, but UFM 93.6MHz frequency and license are owned by RTM Selangor.

Therefore, RTM Selangor has three radio stations.

1. Selangor FM 100.9MHz as RTM main radio station for Selangor to target mass listeners in Selangor.

2. Selangor FM Saluran UPM (Putra FM 90.7MHz) as Universiti Putra Malaysia campus radio station to target UPM students and listeners in Serdang, Kajang, Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Balakong and part of Kuala Lumpur (Bukit Jalil, Seri Petaling, Salak South, Desa Petaling, Bandar Tasik Selatan, Kuchai Lama and Bangsar)

3. Selangor FM Saluran UiTM Shah Alam (UFM 93.6MHz) as Universiti Teknologi Mara Shah Alam campus radio station to target UiTM Shah Alam students and listeners in Shah Alam, but available in Puchong, Subang Jaya, Klang, Petaling Jaya, Klang, Sungai Buloh, Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Seri Kembangan and part of Kuala Lumpur.

By comparing Selangor FM's campus radio stations coverage, Saluran UiTM Shah Alam UFM 93.6MHz is wider than Saluran UPM Putra FM 90.7MHz. Next, I will publish article to list down their coverage availability.

Putra FM 90.7 and UFM 93.6 don't broadcast 24 hours a day actually. Technically, as they're part of RTM Selangor FM, actually Putra FM 90.7 and UFM 93.6 can relay RTM Selangor FM 100.9MHz program during non-broadcasting hours.

In terms of broadcasting hours, UFM 93.6MHz has longer broadcast hours than Putra FM 90.7MHz. UFM 93.6MHz is still playing music after 6pm, while Putra FM 90.7 goes off air in silent mode after 6pm.

Frekuensi Zayan di Seremban: FM 104.9MHz

Tahukah anda? Jika anda membaca senarai frekuensi FM untuk mendengar radio Zayan, anda tidak akan nampak frekuensi Seremban.

Terdapat pendengar Zayan masih mencari frekuensi untuk mendengar Zayan untuk kawasan Seremban hingga sekarang.

Untuk makluman, kepada pendengar Zayan di Seremban, anda boleh mendengar siaran Zayan pada FM 104.9MHz (sama dengan Lembah Klang).

FM 104.9MHz yang diterima di Seremban ialah dipancar dari Gunung Ulu Kali.

Sebenarnya, walaupun penerimaan FM 104.9MHz di Seremban tidak jelas seperti Port Dickson dan Nilai, tetapi Zayan masih boleh didengari di Seremban pada FM 104.9MHz. Siaran Zayan pada 104.9MHz lebih jelas di Senawang.

Stesen sebelum Zayan, iaitu Red FM yang dimiliki oleh Star Radio Group. Saya mendengar Red FM di Seremban pun menggunakan frekuensi FM 104.9MHz setelah 106.0MHz telah ditamatkan siaran sejak Jun 2009.

Pada masa sama, di sini adalah rakaman audio penerimaan signal radio Zayan di Seremban, Negeri Sembilan yang dirakam pada 3 Jun 2019. Rakaman audio diterima melalui Samsung Galaxy V Plus di Jalan Sungai Ujong.

Thailand FM 88.0MHz from Phuket received in Taiping, Perak, Malaysia?

On 30th June 2020, I saw my YouTube DXer friend recorded a Thailand radio station signal on FM 88.0MHz in Taiping, Perak, Malaysia. At the same time, I received private message from him which he sent me an audio clip of the radio signal.

In Southern Thailand, there are two radio stations operating FM 88.0MHz. Firstly, it is PSU Radio FM 88.0MHz from Songkhla, transmitted from Khao Kho Hong, Hat Yai. Secondly, it is Voice of Navy 3 FM 88.0MHz from Phuket.

When I listened to FM 88.0MHz audio clip which received in Taiping, Perak, Malaysia, the presenter mentioned the radio station name.

"Satthani Witthayu Siang Chak Thahan Ruea เสียงจากทหารเรือ" (Voice of Navy radio station).

Refer to Asiawaves.net station list, the audio clip is matched with Voice of Navy 3 (สทร.3) Phuket FM 88.0MHz.

Therefore, FM 88.0MHz Thailand radio station that my friend received is from Phuket province.

On April 2020, TP4 FM 103.0MHz from Trang, Thailand that my friend received in Taiping, Perak, Malaysia was the furthest distance FM radio station ever, now Voice of Navy 3 FM 88.0MHz from Phuket, Thailand breaks his FM DXing record.

Here is the audio clip:

According to the audio clip, FM 88.0MHz was reporting news of Navy radio, recorded in Taiping, Malaysia around 1304H (UTC+8).

==Reception report of Voice of Navy3 FM DX==

* Frequency: FM 88.0MHz

* Power: 1kW (3.8kW ERP)

* Transmitting location: Tambon Wichit, Mueang Phuket district, Phuket province, Thailand

* Receiving location: Taiping, Perak, Malaysia

* Distance: 424km

* Receiving date/time: 30th June 2020 1304H (UTC+8)

* Signal condition: Weak

Well-done and congratulations to Kason Kong for his excellent signal catch of Voice of Navy 3 (สทร.3) FM 88.0MHz from Phuket, Thailand in Taiping, Perak, Malaysia.

In respect to this excellent and impressive FM DXing in Taiping by Kason Kong, I will consider to add Voice of Navy 3 (สทร.3) FM 88.0MHz Phuket into my log list of FM DXing in Tanjung Piandang and Kuala Kurau, Perak, and I will try to record the footage of receiving FM 88.0MHz from Phuket there on 31.08.2020.

Voice of Navy 3 (สทร.3) Phuket has also AM frequency 1458kHz, I could receive it in Balakong, Malaysia where it is my home.

What happen to CityPlus FM in Penang if expand coverage to Penang by being given Bukit Larut frequency FM 105.7MHz by MCMC?

In the past from 2016 to 2019, Philip DXing Log highlighted about review and frequency analysis if CityPlus FM expands coverage to Penang with few likely suitable frequencies and sites.

In 2017, I suggested FM 93.1MHz Bukit Larut as CityPlus FM Penang frequency transmission. In fact, I realized that FM 93.1MHz cannot be used for Bukit Larut transmission because it interfered RTM Asyik FM 93.1MHz Bukit Ladang Teh coverage in Lenggong and Lawin, Perak. In terms of history, RTM Asyik FM already used FM 93.1MHz in Lenggong since 2015/16. During my suggestion of CityPlus FM Penang frequency with FM 93.1MHz Bukit Larut, actually I had no latest and updated frequency database. In addition, I had never been in North Perak before, hence I did not get any information. Until 2019, I got some information on FM 93.1MHz transmission in Lenggong, Perak. Back to 28th December 2019, I traveled to Taiping, when I was in Enggor and Salak Baru, I recorded the footage of Asyik FM 93.1MHz Bukit Ladang Teh signal.

Therefore, FM 93.1MHz is not a frequency can be used in Bukit Larut.

Back to 2014, I proposed FM 105.7MHz as IKIM FM Taiping frequency in Bukit Larut (0.5kW) to cover Northwest Perak as there could not receive IKIM FM on 89.0MHz from Gunung Jerai, meanwhile 102.7MHz signal was very bad.

Currently FM 105.7MHz is still a vacant frequency for Bukit Larut transmission (not medium and high power). If CityPlus FM is assigned on 105.7MHz by MCMC in Bukit Larut to cover Penang, actually FM 105.7MHz is not a suitable frequency to beam Penang from Bukit Larut as Penang listeners can get co-channel interference in Penang (Island) and some Seberang Perai areas when listen to CityPlus FM on FM 105.7MHz because RTM Kedah FM is using same frequency in Gunung Raya.

105.7MHz: CityPlus FM Bukit Larut

105.7MHz: Kedah FM Gunung Raya

Looked at RF analysis map photos (where I was given by MCMC personally in 2016. Disclaimer: Only frequency analysis, not for radio station), FM 105.7MHz Bkt Larut never gives interference to Kedah FM 105.7MHz Gunung Raya, but this applies only normal antenna pattern of standard Bukit Larut coverage without beaming directional to Penang direction much.

If CityPlus FM 105.7MHz Bukit Larut beams to Penang (0.5kW power), it can interfere Kedah FM 105.7MHz Gunung Raya coverage in Langkawi and Perlis coastal area as Bukit Larut elevation is higher than Gunung Jerai and hills in Penang. In addition, as Georgetown and some Seberang Perai can receive RTM Kedah FM 105.7MHz Gunung Raya (thus DX signal), but CityPlus FM 105.7MHz Bukit Larut still faces co-channel interference from Kedah FM 105.7MHz Gunung Raya in Penang Island (Georgetown), despite reception in Seberang Perai has no interference.

Listeners will feel uncomfortable to listen to CityPlus FM in Georgetown on 105.7MHz from Bukit Larut when it is interfered by Kedah FM 105.7MHz.

CityPlus FM can use FM 105.7MHz in Bukit Larut at 1kW power and beam to Penang if RTM Kedah FM migrates its Gunung Raya frequency to FM 105.5MHz, but it is not easy due to MCMC regulations and cost of migrating frequencies.

If Kedah FM migrates its Langkawi frequency from 105.7MHz to 105.5MHz, at least CityPlus FM 105.7MHz Bukit Larut and Kedah FM 105.5MHz Gunung Raya will not interfere each other in Penang and Langkawi anymore as wider frequency separation.

105.5MHz: Kedah FM Gunung Raya

105.7MHz: CityPlus FM Bukit Larut

<200kHz, OK>

For current situation, although FM 105.7MHz is suitable in Bukit Larut for only Taiping coverage (minus South Seberang Perai), thus lower power transmission, but FM 105.7MHz is not suitable for Bukit Larut transmission to cover Penang by beaming to northwest direction. Therefore, CityPlus FM Penang frequency proposal is not suitable by assigning FM 105.7MHz in Bukit Larut for Penang transmission coverage (beaming to northwest).

World Christian Broadcast KNLS from Anchor Point, Alaska, USA breaks my record to receive furthest distance of shortwave radio signal in Malaysia.

In the past, I never received any shortwave radio stations with the distance more than 10000km in Malaysia, but now I get a shortwave radio station which I receive the signal 10000km away from transmitter site.

It is USA Alaska based KNLS (World Christian Broadcast), I receive this radio station today and yesterday on these frequencies below:

- SW 9580kHz (Russian and English) on 1000-1200hours (UTC) and 1400-1500 hours (UTC)

- SW 9735kHz (Chinese) on 1100-1200 hours (UTC)

- SW 9795kHz (English) on 1200-1300 hours (UTC)

As my Thailand friend received KNLS from Alaska in Thailand, so I tried to check the signal, then I got it.

I received KNLS at my home in Balakong, Malaysia (20km from Kuala Lumpur), the distance from Anchor Point, Alaska, United States of America (U.S.A.) is 10632km, the transmission power of KNLS is 100kW. Here are the footage:

This breaks my record of receive shortwave radio stations in terms of distance. KNLS, the furthest shortwave radio station that I captured in Malaysia.

Radio National of Kampuchea FM 105.7MHz received in Penang, Malaysia?

As we know that FM 105.7MHz received in Penang is either RTM Kedah FM from Gunung Raya (Langkawi) or simply weak signal of Lite FM from Gunung Ulu Kali (Penang), but someone receives an unknown language radio station on FM 105.7MHz in Penang.

It is not Thai language, but to me it sounds like Khmer or Burmese language. Here is the footage:

I checked the radio stations list via Asiawaves.net, no any Myanmar radio stations air on FM 105.7MHz, but I suspected FM 105.7MHz that Senn Lens caught in Penang is Radio National of Kamphuchea from Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Radio National of Kamphuchea also broadcasts on AM 918kHz for South East Asia region except Bangkok, Thailand.

In addition, according to DXer, FM 105.7MHz is not Khmer language, but it is Russian language. He verified with his Kazakh friend who speaks Russian, his Kazakh friend identified the footage language is Russian, however a DXer claimed that the footage of FM 105.7MHz Russian language radio accent is very Asian, so it could be Russian service of Radio National of Kampuchea, to target Russian expats in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Seriously I may not know there are foreign languages services of Radio National of Kampuchea, other than Khmer which is Cambodia national language. Maybe Russian program on FM 105.7MHz Phnom Penh is minority language which relayed from shortwave broadcast.

Radio National of Kampuchea FM 105.7MHz also broadcasts in English and French as minority languages services, but Russian is still unknown yet.

Another possibility is FM 105.7MHz Russian language radio in Penang could be multi hop Sporadic E propagation from Siberian region of Russia.

Besides that, someone also suspects that the signal of FM 105.7MHz was rebroadcasted by somebody who are expats from online radio station because it is impossible to receive FM radio station from Cambodia in Malaysia, thus it is low power transmission by using FM short range device (PLL).

If FM 105.7MHz signal footage is confirmed that it is Radio National of Kampuchea from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, it is very amazing, and impressive. Therefore, the radio reception is Sporadic E.

==Radio National of Kampuchea in Penang, Malaysia==

- Frequency: FM 105.7MHz

- Power: 20kW

- Transmission site: Phnom Penh, Cambodia

- Receiving site: Bayan Baru, Penang, Malaysia

- Distance: 862km

Dear reader, what language that do you think on the footage of FM 105.7MHz?

On last week, I had finally caught Voice of Navy 3 AM 1458kHz from Phuket, Thailand at my home where located in Balakong, Malaysia.

It is not easy to receive this radio station most of the evening hours because adjacent channel interference from higher power Sor Wor Sor AM 1467kHz (Thailand National Education Network) from Bangkok, Thailand.

TP4 (Thor Por Sii) FM 103.0MHz from Trang, Thailand received in Teluk Bahang, Penang, Malaysia

Following TP4 FM 103MHz from Trang, Thailand received in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia, now this radio station can be received in Teluk Bahang, Penang, footage is recorded by Senn Lens on YouTube.

In Teluk Bahang, the receiving signal of Thor Por Sii FM 103.0MHz from Trang, Thailand is quite clear there, nothing interference from Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh transmitter, but I believe Perlis FM 102.9MHz from Padang Pauh is interfered by TP4 FM (4th Army Area radio station) 103.0MHz from Trang, Thailand in Teluk Bahang, Malaysia.

The distance from TP4 FM 103MHz transmission site in Na Tham Nuea to Teluk Bahang is 252km. In fact, TP4 FM 103MHz Trang is also the furthest Thailand radio station received in Teluk Bahang, Penang.

TP4 FM (Thor Por Sii) 103.0MHz Trang is the furthest Thailand radio station received in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia

Georgetown is the perfect location in Penang state to receive many distant FM radio stations, including Thailand. For Malaysia, the furthest radio station that I receive in Georgetown was Melody FM 103.0MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali on November 2017.

In Georgetown, I usually receive Thailand radio stations from Yala, Satun, and Betong, also Songkhla (Hat Yai) at top peak of Penang Hill. Songkhla (Hat Yai) is not the furthest Thailand radio station received in Georgetown, in fact the furthest Thailand FM radio station received in Georgetown is from Trang province.

It is considered very rare to receive Thailand FM radio station from Trang. A YouTuber named Senn Lens uploaded a footage of receiving Thailand radio station on FM 103.0MHz at the roof top parking of Prangin Mall, it is Thor Por Sii Trang (TP4 FM), also known as Satthanii Witthayu Krajiasiang Kong Thap Phak Thi Sii Changwat Trang สถานีวิทยุกองทัพภาคที่ 4 จังหวัดตรัง (4th Army Area radio station Trang province), operated by Royal Thai Army. Here is the footage:

According to the footage that he recorded, although the signal is weak, but there is no adjacent channel interference (ACI) from RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh transmitter. It is very impressive.

Georgetown is the third Penang location where Thor Por Sii Trang FM 103.0MHz signal is captured after Tasek Gelugor and Bukit Tambun (14100 Simpang Ampat).
