Those aren't Center freqs, I'm afraid, those are locally used airports, for the most part. What he is talking about are frequencies found here...

New York (ZNY) Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

What is an ARTCC? Good question, that...

ARTCC - The RadioReference Wiki

Which are closest to him in Chester County? I'd take a stab at Barnegat, Matawan, Millville and Ship Bottom in NJ, then Big Flat, Modena and Lancaster in Pa.

You can find this out for yourself by clicking on the little arrow next to the name of the RCAG, then click on 'View Subcategory Details'. That should bring up a map with boundaries of the coverage (I don't exactly know where those boundaries come from, but the transmitter location is almost as good).

I'm assuming here that you have an antenna outdoors, nice and high, and free from obstructions. Such an antenna would be quite likely to hear aircraft from a long ways checking in from these and other sites.

Best Regards..Mike

The boundaries are actually pulled from FAA data and is actually called the service radius. Not the same thing as the sector, but very usefull for frequency mgmt of this spectrum, and a usefull indication of where the transmitter is supposed to he effective. The radioref database for ZNY is very accurate and up to date.
