Well they may very well come in in those locales, but from my experience any signal in Sussex county really battles the mountainous terrain. More so on "Max" than WSUS because they are technically in Northern Warren county. From my own personal experience on the I-84 corridor, "Max" did come in around Port Jervis but by no means "crystal clear" especially since they signal tends to have a slight null in that location. Of the two locations I would have to say that reception has been clearer in Matamoros, PA than Port Jervis, NY. To use that in a sweeper is REALLY riding a fine line and is also a bit of a

Well I will say that Max is one of the few stations that comes in easily along that infamous Rt. 209 stretch from Stroudsburg up to Milford, on the side of the mountain where it is a radio wasteland with hardly any clear signals. Max does come in well.
 
Max comes in from the pike county line all the way out 84-W to nearly scranton, in my car.

And on a sensitive car radio, I've gotten it as far southwest as the north-eastern fringes of Berks County, past Allentown. Decent signal for fairly small wattage.

That statement was strictly for sales purposes. WHCY has no signal in Port Jervis & Matamoris, Pa. The only station in the CC Sussex cluster that gets in those areas at all is WNNJ-FM.
 
While not exactly city-grade, 106.3 should be listenable at least as far north as P-J.
