It makes sense to me. The Syracuse stations on analog VHF would have made it to Remsen. To get them on UHF digital is possible but difficult.

If you want as many stations as possible it's worth trying for Syracuse. The antenna height doesn't make enough difference to install a tower. I'd get a 91XG, aim it at Syracuse, connect it to a 7777 preamp, and see what you get.

To get Utica stations may require a rotator or a second UHF only antenna such as a DB-2 or DB-4. WWNY is also possible with a Y10-7-13 connected to the VHF input of the 7777 preamp. There's no need to turn the VHF antenna.
