Any retro dials from the Lehigh Valley?

Hi all. I am wondering if anyone can post a retro dial from the lehigh Valley area of PA from possibily the mid 70s. I grew up in a small town in western New Jersey where we were fortunate enough to pick up stations from NYC, Philly, and the Lehigh Valley. I am trying to reconstruct what my radio dial would have sounded like back then, and I have been able to dig up good info about NJ, NYC, and philly, but not the LV.

What I do remember is this:
AM
790 WAEB - top 40
1230 WEEX - top 40
1320 WKAP - top 40 (I think)
1470 WSAN - progressive rock

FM
99.9 WQQQ - beautiful music
100.7 WFMZ beautiful music (I think)

Any assistance would be most appreciated.
 
What about WARM 590 Scranton?
WCRV 1580 Washington, NJ
WYNS Lehigh,PA (I do not have a frequency for them)

I have surveys from ALL the AM stations on this page and in quantity if anyone wants to trade originals. Some weeks I have over twenty surveys.

I couldn't really pick up WARM where I lived as Scranton is considerably further Northwest of where I grew up. WCRV was just up the road from us. When you say that you have surveys from WCRV, is that from when they played pop music, or from their Suburban Country Radio days?

that part of NJ that I grew up in was very cool in terms of radio reception since I was right in between those three markets. Imagine being able to spin the dial from WABC to WFIL, or up to the progressive AM rock of WSAN.

yes, 'KAP was top 40.

95.1 WGPA-FM - beautiful music
104.1 WXKW - beautiful music

I was a part-timer at WAEB in the mid-70's and we had to record the weather for air on WXKW.
