I like using Airnav as an Airport reference;
however I do not see 128.8 listed as a KEWR or a New York Tracon (N90) frequency

AirNav: KEWR - Newark Liberty International Airport

Complete aeronautical information about Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark, NJ, USA), including location, runways, taxiways, navaids, radio frequencies, FBO information, fuel prices, sunrise and sunset times, aerial photo, airport diagram.

MasterPro,
Being 5 miles away, you should be able to hear just about everything.
I don't know what RR has, and Airnav.com is good, but they don't list everything, either.
I can send you my list, but I don't think it's appropriate to put it in a post. If you're interested, contact me in a Private message, and I'll send you my e-mail address.

Not suprising, TBH.

Your proximity to the airport isn't as good as you think it is. Their entire system talks to people up & away from the tower. You're on the ground. Even with real good hardware and favorable conditions, I have trouble getting my local airport tower more than 3 miles away.

If you can get your antenna up and away from the earth, you will hear a significant improvement hearing the tower. You will almost always hear the airplanes better, as if you can see them - you can hear them. They fly over our property on one approach, and if they key up it's like they're in the room with me - never hear the tower responses at home.
