Y102 question

[TheTiger]

Got this idea from another board but if I am traveling from the Scranton/W-B metro to Philadelphia, how well does Y102's reception begin and which location would it fade out? I'm using the NE Extension of the PA turnpike so since they powered down not too long ago, I may have difficulty receiving the station.

In the early 90's, we supposed to go to Washington D.C, but because the roads were icy(this happened during the winter), we turned around and went back home, but when we stopped at the McDonald's off Route 940 near Hickory Run State Park, northern Carbon County, Y102 comes in clear, but I remembered they were a top 40 station at that time. I was already in third grade then. So since they reduced power, I don't think it would come in clear like it did more than a decade ago.

From what I have noticed, the power reduction has affected coverage more to the east than to the north, making it difficult to listen to in Philly, but still fairly clear in Allentown. You should be able to sample Y-102 from the LV tunnel down until around Lansdale, I'd say.

I'm to the slight north and west of Philadelphia in extreme eastern Chester County and Y102 is strong here. On my way to work right by the Lansdale interchange the station is fairly clear as well. It doesn't get shaky until about the Mid-County interchange (where the NE Extention ends), but comes back as you turn west on the main line of the Pike toward Valley Forge.
