Malaysia - Asyik FM reactivated on 6050 kHz.
« on: August 22, 2016, 1656 UTC »
MALAYSIA. 6050, Asyik FM, via Kajang, reactivated Aug 22.
Had been silent for most of 2016; local Kajang sunset at 1119
UT and my local sunrise was at 1331 UT.

Heard 1327-1413, in vernacular; many phone conversations;
played pop songs; some adjacent QRM; light QRM from Tibet
(PBS Xizang) on frequency; mostly fair; singing IDs. My audio
at  https://goo.gl/Cz4kL6 .

Surely this is back on the air for the upcoming Independence Day
celebrations. "Merdeka Day" (Hari Merdeka [Malaysian for
"Independence Day"]) - August 31, 1957 was the day that the
Federation of Malaya gained its independence from British
colonization; is a national holiday, with celebrations leading up
to September 16 - "Malaysia Day," which commemorates the
establishment of the Malaysian federation on the same date in
1963. It marked the joining together of Malaya, North Borneo,
Sarawak, and Singapore to form Malaysia.

9835, Sarawak FM, via Kajang. Quick check at 1324, Aug 22, to
catch ID and pop songs; fair.

11665, Limbang FM, via Wai FM, from Kajang. It's Monday (Aug 22),
so time for another Limbang FM relay; 1315 started with mention of
both "Limbang FM" and "Wai FM"; into the "Limbang FM" jingle;
DJ in vernacular with pop songs; good reception. My audio at

Aug 23, my reception of Asyik FM (6050 kHz.) was outstanding!
Heard program of "Bollywood" pop Hindi songs after 1300 UTC.
Very good reception; much better than yesterday. Very listenable.
My audio goo.gl/tRx6qn with their montage of different Hindi songs
and "Radio Malaysia Asyik FM ... Bollywood" ID.
