MALAYSIA 6050 is MLA (RTM), but there is a question if it is Sibu
returning to their former freq here, or maybe it's Kajang, near Kuala
Lumpur, changing freq from 6025 kHz. up to 6050 kHz. It has been a while
now since I last heard Asyik FM via RTM and also their "Suara Islam"
(Voice of Islam) program at 1400 UTC, on 6025, due to some interference I
have at that frequency, so I do not know what is happening there. In the
past I heard them both fairly regularly. The expert on Malaysian stations,
Alan Davies, is checking to see what the actual situation is. I do note
that the Sarawak FM website
still lists Sibu for 6050, but who knows when the list was last updated.
Alan's e-mail is as follows: "I recently saw some updated RTM
registrations suggesting that 6050 was planned for use from the Kajang
site near Kuala Lumpur, replacing Asyik FM and Voice of Islam's old freq
of 6025; so maybe the txion you noted was actually from Kajang rather than
Sibu. I'll try to check."
If I hear from Alan, will pass on any new information.
