Still mentioning new station coming May 12.

The translator has a directional pattern mostly east to west from midtown Manhattan.

@Jeffrey - where are you listening from?  What time did the translator start broadcasting?

@ansky212 listening from SW Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Oddly enough the signal is not too strong in midtown Manhattan depending on the street.
Don't know what time they started broadcasting. They have gone down a few times though. Working out kinks I'm sure. Really curious to find out the format.

10 miles west of Manhattan, its a mix of the 106.3 translator and thunder 106.

[ansky212]

I'm about 12 miles due west of NYC.  I can get Thunder and the translator, but Thunder is stronger.  The bad thing is I can no longer get a reliable stereo signal from Thunder, but it sounds fine in mono.

On Washington Ave going south from the navy yard,the translator signal dies when you get to Atlantic Ave.

[stationless listener]

In the Lower East Side. My stereo gets a rimshot of WFAF, which is from Mount Kisco. How that gets in beat me.  Another radio in my room get a faint signal of the translator. I barely hear through the static. There's also a religious pirate operating in Brooklyn using that frequency.

At 9 PM from Flushing, Queens I am getting a pirate playing reggae music at 106.3.  Perhaps they were only testing the translator for a few hours.

No the translator is still on but the pirates are actually stronger. I think the pirate you hear is from the Bronx.
