SINPO: 22322
This frequency at this time had at least four stations competing for my attention. WSYR was underneath the stronger WMCA, a religious station in Kearny, New Jersey; CFCB, a country music station in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada; and Radio Reloj in Santa Clara, Cuba, with tick-tocks every second and "RR" in Morse Code every minute.
Still, WSYR punched through at four minutes after the hour, with a station ID by a male announcer, followed by weather from a female announcer (Stella ___?). She mentioned "central New York" and the station's FM frequency 106.9 as well as the AM frequency. The male announcer then continued. The signal was otherwise weak and faded considerably.

Here is a virtual screenshot of the receiver (actually an ICOM PCR-1000

I sent a request for a QSL via U.S. mail on October 3, 2011.
I will post it here as soon as it arrives.
