Hi Thomas<\/p>\n

Regarding a post on the WRTH Facebook page from December 17, 2025, there was a report that “Nasional FM” was testing a new transmitter in Kajang, near Kuala Lumpur. It seems I heard them last night around 0200 hours UTC using my friend’s Kiwi SDR in northern Thailand. I’ve attached a brief recording of their transmission in Malaysian.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Nasional-FM-Malaysia-ve3hls.proxy_.kiwisdr.com_2026-03-13T01_59_31Z_15295.00_am.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Wonder if they are on the air full-time now?<\/p>\n
