does WNSH have a translator in Hyde Park at 90.5?

[Jeffrey]

I'm not near the listening area of Hyde Park but radio-locator shows that WNSH is simulcast on 90.5 W213AC.
Can anyone confirm this?

No. It's Family Radio. It used to be a translator for WFME, but because it's in the reserved band, it can be fed by any means. Satellite, internet, T1, tin can and string etc.

Radio Locator is pretty bad with updating primary stations for translators, and pretty bad with station formats and slogans. About all I use it for is a quickie coverage map just to get a general idea. By the way, the R-L maps are Red: 60dBu, Purple: 50dBu and Blue: 40dBu. Or thereabouts.

I suspected as much but had to ask. Yes...agreed about the radio-locator site, nonetheless it does carry some useful information although never trust it's accuracy.

Yes. Much like translators on 97.1 Bolton CT, 104.5 Bridgeport CT, and 99.5 Meriden CT are listed on RL as relaying WMRQ. In actuality all 3 relay WMRQ 104.1 HD-2 which is Spanish Tropical known as Bomba CT (formerly known as Bomba 97.1)

If I'm in Kingston, NY, I can't pick up 90.5 here, because it's probably either off the air or something. Maybe some weaker signal I guess.

I was at my job last week in New Paltz, I checked 90.5 and they're still running Family Radio instead of WNSH. They're still relaying on either WFME 106.3 in Westchester County or WFRH at 91.7 in Kingston, NY.

90.5 can be fed from the mothership in California, via satellite, as it's in the reserved band. WFRH and WFME could both go away and that would still be there.
