SINPO:  55455

WVMT came through loud and clear at this short distance of 57 miles over the Canadian border.  I tuned in to "Odds and Ends, on the Flipside" with commentary about consumer protests against corporations.  The station ID "News Talk 620 WVMT, Burlington-Plattsburgh" was announced.  The news with Jane Metzler followed.
                    

The signal would have been 5x5 but for very minor hiss in the background.

 A short clip of the transmission with station ID can be accessed here.
(May need to increase the volume control on your computer.)

The station’s web site is linked here.

Here is a virtual screenshot of the receiver (actually an ICOM PCR-1000
with a Wellbrook ALA 1530 antenna aimed southward)

Here is a map showing the distance from transmitter to receiver (click to enlarge):

I sent a request for a QSL via U.S. mail on October 5, 2011.
I will post it here as soon as it arrives.
