I tuned in and heard an advertisement for the Cracker Barrel chain of restaurants, with a contest from that sponsor. This was followed by the ID "650 AM WSM".
The signal was relatively strong with no interference from other stations, but there was high-frequency QRN throughout much of the reception. The signal faded to a moderate extent before returning just before the station ID.
A short clip of the transmission with station ID can be accessed here.
(May need to increase the volume control on your computer.)

I sent a request for a QSL via U.S. mail on September 18, 2011.
I will post it here as soon as it arrives.
