Hi guys,
Beachwood is only 48 miles from Linden which should give you a pretty good idea why NNJ and NYC come in all the time in that part of Ocean County. I used to listen to "home" on my BC-101 with an 18" whip from the motel on the mainland side of the Pelican Island bridge in Gilford Park. When you hear New England and the Canadian Maritimes like I was working on 2M at the time you'll have something to write home about. (;->)
Here are the locations for the Pike on 159.180Mhz.

Wild, I was working Maryland too but didn't hear any activity from Cape May, that's always been a dead spot even when I lived in Eagleswood 30 miles north from Atlantic City. I could work New Castle County Delaware all the time but never even heard the repeaters in ACY. Now here's a hoot, the 448.075 repeater in Manahawkin is loud and clear from here but points south in NJ, forget it.
To borrow a lyric from the (Mount) Hollies, it's the time of the season for DXing. (;->)
