Title: RTM Sarawak FM, 9835 AM, 13 JUL 2022, 1120 UTC
Post by: MDK2 on July 13, 2022, 1135 UTC: Fair signal along the greyline into Denver, about SIO 222. Music program following what sounded like a headline digest (brief YL speaking a couple of sentences, jingle, couple of more sentences, jingle pattern for a couple of minute).

Post by: Ron - Calif. on July 13, 2022, 1727 UTC: The three minute segments for the call-to-prayer are very distinctive program details, as well as the station's
unique slogan - "This station is now the ultimate power in the universe."

MALAYSIA[non-Sarawak]. 9835, Sarawak FM, from Kajang (on the west coast of the Malaysia peninsula),
1053-1056 UT, on July 11. The usual three minute Islamic call-to-prayer for the sunset prayer (Maghrib)

Call-to-prayer times for Kuching (July 11):

Fajr 05:26 AM (2126 UT) - the dawn prayer

Post by: Ron - Calif. on July 13, 2022, 2148 UTC: Hi Paul - June 27, I observed Sarawak FM (9835 kHz.) at 1400 UT with the start of the news in vernacular,
but cut off at 1401*, with the first news item about the University of Malaysia. 11665 (Wai FM) also
closing down about the same time.

I'm hearing it right now at greyline (1215), which looks like it crosses Alaska. This is the time to listen.
