Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following update:
A follow-up to my post last month: https://swling.com/blog/2026/03/is-nasional-fm-on-shortwave-full-time/
I am now hearing RTM regularly on shortwave on both 11885 kHz and 15295 kHz through Kiwi SDR’s located in Southeast Asia and Australia. As Timm Breyel pointed out, programming seems to be in Chinese on 11885 with IDs noted as “Sabah V FM” at the 52-second and one-minute mark of the attached recording. Voice announcements on 15295 continue to be in presumed Malaysian, but identification can be heard as Nasional FM at the 6:05, 6:14, and 6:20 marks of the second recording. These are both coming from the Kajang Transmitting Station near Kuala Lumpur. It will be interesting to see how far afield their signal can be heard.
Sabah V FM April 2, 2026 on 11885 kHz at 0128 UTC:
Nasional FM April 2, 2026 on 15295 kHz at 0255 UTC:

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Ed, who writes:
Here in Philly, while perusing a vintage artifacts store here in Philadelphia, I found a 1958 magazine with a photograph of an attractive shortwave receiver model.
Maybe readers of the SWLing Post can identify this radio? Is it the successor to the Zenith Transoceanic series?
Cheers,

Please comment if you can shed some light on this particular radio.
