That translator is on Mt. Beacon, but with a fairly weird directional 
antenna.  It's going to be limited to 10 watts ERP throughout most of 
its coverage area.  Still, you can probably see it from the Oakland 
hills, so a little signal goes a long way.

I've found many translators and at least one full-power station that are 
licensed but off the air without notification to the FCC.  Theoretically 
they're supposed to be posted here:

http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/silent-am-and-fm-broadcast-station-lists

I would not be surprised if IHR filed the license to cover well in 
advance of actually activating the transmitter in order to keep from 
losing the license.
