The FCC maps show 105.9 as barely -- barely -- reaching the southern tip of Staten Island, falling well short of the Connecticut line and not getting far up-river. My experience is that the contour that the FCC maps is a little conservative, meaning people who are a bit outside the circle are still fine in terms of reception... on the other hand, my experience is that crystal clarity matters more to classical listeners. Yikes.
