Club FM 94.3The long wait for private FM radio stations in Thiruvananthapuram is over. Club FM 94.3 from Mathrubhumi has officially started their transmission in the capital city today. Test transmission of Big FM 92.7 and Radio Mirchi 98.3 are also on. Tune in and enjoy! Hey, don’t forget to listen to our very own Ananthapuri FM 101.9 !

Hey do you know what happened to the DC FM 90.4? Was it just a rumor that DC School of Media has an FM station in Thiruvananthapuram? I never listened it though.

    1. In radio broadcast particularly in FM radio, the frequency spectrum is betwean 60 KHz and 108 KHz, this means that the bandwidth available for all radio broadcast in the world as regulated by ITU is 48 KHz. Given that each voice channel has a maximum of 4 KHZ, it means that only 12 channels can be aired.
    explain why under practical circunstances it is possible to get more than 12 FM stations in FM radio broadcast.

    Hai FM Family,

    Do you know normally i am not interested to watch FM, past 4 days i am mad on this program. i am watching FM? which FM ? 9 4 .3 radio mirchi. the program is Heart to Heart with gowtham. its really nice program not only the program, gowtham voice also so cute, so nice, way of talking,voice tone.replay to the callers.this is very useful for lovers and love triers.

    None impressed me (Voice) except my udbi, he is only one in my life i thought.but 2nd time gowtham voice impressed me. dont think bad,i dont want to tell lie.

    friends check this website http://www.asiawaves.net/sri-lanka-radio.htm i am receiving almost all stations from srilanka.. most of the tamil stations like sakthi,suriyan, thendral fm, vasantham, velicham i am able to receive….also srilankan FM is very clear and having number of English FM channels.
    really it is good to hear those station in stereo mode.

    hai friends, feel free to contact me at 09944276102, Iam electrical based computer engineer, doing research in FM Dxing. Also much interested in geting radios from china.

  8. PRINCE says:

    Hello friends,
    i am an engineer from tirunelveli, check the website mentioned. http://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo_eur.html... in the website, select indian ocean region, check for the tropospheric ducting. which is good at summer and during the winter mainly during the months of november and december. I am using 3 element YAGI antenna and the FM booster ciruit which i got ffrom http://www.kitsnspares.com/user/index.asp http://www.electronicsforu.com/efylinux/circuit/feb2003/feb02_FM.pdf kindly get this and u can surely receive all stations.
    Also one important factor is using PLL tunable radios, of DSP radios which u can get from china for Rs 500 to Rs.4000 they are really very good. If u try fm PLL radio from sony it costs at aboutRs.10000. Get godd PLL tunable radio and u will be an good DXER.

    Hi Ligin:
    Howz it going. I was just browsing the internet to see if I can listen to Mirchi fm from Thiruvananthapuram. I guess it is not available online, yet.
    Anyways, thats how I bumped into this site. And I am glad I did. I just wanted to say, I liked the way you explained your answers. You talk in a very simple language so that even ordinary people, like me, can understand what you are talking about. We are in an information revelution in Keralam; I hope we have more people like you in Keralam.
    I am proud of you. Keep it up. All the best.

    hi,
    can anybody tell me which is the best antena & dxing ckt for fm band & where can i get the ckt dig. Plz contact me esuhas221@indiatimes.com

    Hi Deepu,
    Hi, usually signals are picked up better in the mornings and night rather than day time, cooler and dust free atmosphere supposed to be better for electromagnetic waves but I dont know the presice mechanism.

    Distant fms are heard by the phenomenon of tropospheric scatter and little bit of refraction rather than direct line of sight reception this is the reason why fms travel beyond the horizon of the transmitter . usually cloudy and rainy weather are not good for distant fm reception ,however local fm stations and tv stations appear to be better just after a good rain.

    The height of the transmitter influences the range so much as in case of Bangalore or Mysore the city is located at 900 meters above mean sea level and the height of the transmitter 100 or 200 meters together make it atleast 1000 m 0r 3100 feet from sea level similar to high ranges in kerala.Wayanad is also medium altitude and high altitude 500-2500 meters so u have great chances of picking up more distant stations not just bangalore.On good days I can also pickup bangalore stations the interference free ones are fever 104 AIR 101.3 105.6 107.2 at altitudes close to sea level, but only on good days and the reception not reliable clears and fades, become stereo and mono and sometimes disappears…
    Perhaps krishnakumar could contribute more details of fm propogation…… with regards

  18. Deepu says:

    Hai friends i am deepu from wayanad. I am recieving fm signals using a booster and diapol. In winter season(december to february)i get fm stations from bangalore(that only in mornings).why it happening?

  19. anoop says:

    hi friends ,

    Hi I’m also an fm enthusiast i found this forum only today .ur posts are so interesting to me.I’m from kottayam, though I’m not a profesional in fm radios i’ve been using external antenna for last 6 years i could pick up almost all fm stations from kochi devikulam tvm kodaikanal thrissur manjeri calicut kannur coimbatore thirunelveli madurai nagercoil trichy mangalore mysore bangalore and many stations from sri lanka but like what ligin pointed out, all dependent so much on the weather. On good days u get on some days no signal at all.
    But the new pvt statoins having the same freq all over india there is so much overlap these days that in some freq like 93.5 I’m getting a mixture of voices and songs stations changing all the time

    So is there any way to reduce the interference my friends ?
    love to hear from u

  21. jijimon says:

    Hi,
    I am from Kayamkulam(Alpy dist). I assembled a single transistor(SC2570) fm booster cricuit and used a dipole as antenna, but could’nt get any of the stations. my nearest fm stations are 100-125km away.
    Any body could help me with new cicuits and ideas?

  22. Krishnakumar says:

    Hi friends,
    Shortwave (HF) propagation is possible due to the ionosphere, a region of the upper atmosphere ranging from approximately 60 to 450 km in height.

    The ionosphere is divided up into three regions, the D, E, and F layers, with the F layer subdivided into the F1 and F2 layers.

    These layers are reflected Short wave signals (3 to 30 Mhz). But do to solar radiation (Black holls, Corona effect, solar wind .. etc) layer property changing time to time. That effect shortwave radio signals.

  24. Arun says:

    Hi,
    You can tune Big FM, Club FM, Radio Mirchi, SFM and Ananthapuri FM from Kanyakumari district too. Here we get lots of FM stations like Srilanka FM, Srilanka Tamil FM, TUTICORIAN FM, Sooryan fm(Tirunelveli), etc..

    Also I need to know why am i not getting SW(SHORT WAVE) clearly, when I tuned in, I am getting SW stations from China, Arab countries, USA, and even BBC Radio(UK) but the problem is it is not clear. Can you help me?

    I can’t hear Suryan FM in 93.5 MHz because of the availability of S FM in the same frequency. What is the remedy, Please help…

  34. Sree Pillai says:

    Great info. Thanks Ligin for sharing the useful information at TECK.IN
    Good show!

    Friends,

    FM provides high-fidelity sound over broadcast radio. FM broadcast band is from 87.5 to 108.0 MHz. VHF band extends from 30 MHz to 300 MHz. Thus FM belongs to VHF. The property of the High frequency signals is that they propagate only in line of sight i.e., upto 50 to 100 Km .And these signals never reflects or refracts. But in the ionosphere these signals reflects back to earth.

    Dxing = D(Distant)+ X(Unknown)

    DX communication is communication over great distances using the ionosphere to refract the transmitted radio beam. The beam returns to the Earth’s surface, and may then be reflected back into the ionosphere for a second bounce. Ionospheric refraction is generally only feasible for frequencies below about 50 MHz, and is highly dependent upon atmospheric conditions, the time of day, and the eleven-year sunspot cycle. It is also affected by solar storms and some other solar events, which can alter the Earth’s ionosphere by ejecting a shower of charged particles.The angle of refraction places a minimum on the distance at which the refracted beam will first return to Earth. This distance increases with frequency.

    According to Dxing theory, an FM/TV signal from 700 to 1500 miles can be received.

    A good DXing Pre-amplifier can be used.

    You can use any type of antenna like telescopic antenna, It is better to use, dipole antenna or Yagi antenna. Length of the dipole depends on frequency. I am an Electronics Eng student, The circuits for dxing, booster, signal amp., were assembled by myself. All are available in the market.

    The antenna for reception is designed by myself.
    for eg. in yagi antenna, the dimensios as as follows:

    The first director is 120 / F if F = 88 MHZ then 120 / 88 = 1,36 Meters.

    1 director 1 120 / frequency
    A interval betwen 1 et 2 60 / frequency
    2 director 2 125 / frequency
    B interval betwen 2 et 3 45 / frequency
    3 director 3 130 / frequency
    C interval betwen 3 et 4 30 / frequency
    4 director 4 138 / frequency
    D interval betwen 4 et 5 30 / frequency
    5 Dipôle 143 / frequency
    E interval betwen 5 et 6 48 / frequency
    6 reflector 150 / frequency

    If anyone have any doubt regarding this, feel free to call me or mail me. As a student, if it is possible I will clear it.

    Big FM 92.7
    Mirchi 98.3
    Suryan FM (TVM – from feb 2nd onwards.- Test)
    Club FM 94.3 (TVM)

    Reason is that, I am using FM DXing circuits and Boosters.

  40. AK says:

    If anyone knows any Tamil FM stations that can be tuned, then please let us know the frequencies.

  41. Sree Pillai says:

    SFM to officially start on Feb 6

  42. Anoop.S.S says:

    Dont Forget to hear ANATHAPURI FM 101.9 …

  43. Anoop.S.S says:

    Its very nice to hear club fm and radio mirchi started transmission from our own trivandrum… when did sfm and big fm starts their transmission…

    want reply..

  44. Sree Pillai says:

    Yes, it is from AIR (All India Radio). Yeah, it doesn’t fall in the clubbing culture like Mirchi or Club FM. Let us wait and see how Ananthapuri FM gears up for the competition.

  45. Chaitanya MSV says:

    Is Anathapuri govt owned? If yes, then it may not be as attractive as Big or Mirchi…
