What station is this that NJ1015 is talking about?

Could be a pirate station in northern NJ ..

In Brooklyn, there has been a 101.5 pirate for more than a few years as I recall, and it comes clear in more than 50% of antenna positions in central Brooklyn and is almost all the time on, the except sometimes the A.M. hours.
 
The Manhattan app is only for a 10 watt signal, and directional at that. The decay of that signal would be rapid by the time it got to those areas. Especially with that pattern.
 
Does WKXW even reach those areas? Whenever I drive up the Parkway north, the 101.5 signal seems like it starts having "issues" around Newark or even a little south of there. By the time I reach Bergen County, the 101.5 signal is almost completely gone. I would think the areas that they are describing on their website would be more apt to pick up WPDH in Poughkeepsie, NY as a "distant signal."

New Jersey 101.5's reception depends on the current pirate station, which has not been on for two days. When it is off, then the signal goes all the way to a little north of Paramus OK, in most places, when I was there, and in Brooklyn, it is clear and in HD.
 
And from who it will be transmitting from is WLJP, a religious station kind of like WFME. Maybe the 101.5 transmitter's goal is to put back religious programming to at least Manhattan. Another option is to relay WVIP (93.5) or a subchannel of HD (which they dropped several weeks ago). The new 106.3 WFME though from Mount Kisco, NY reaches most of Manhattan unless the 106.3 pirate is on, which is all the time.

The station gets interference now in Morris and Essex Counties for sure --anything from NY would cause more problems. Even with a 10 watt signal, whp could listen to it. There is too much fragmentation of the FM spectrum, and it is getting worse.
