Salem affiliate on 1120?

I heard a mystery station carrying Sebastian Gorka's show and news from the Salem Radio Network this afternoon around 4:30 here in Eastern Vermont. Unfortunately the station went into a deep fade at the top of the hour and I couldn't catch an ID. I tried via upstate NY and eastern PA web SDRs at home, but heard nothing. The mystery station is audible, faintly, on the Amherst, NH, SDR, but it also had an ill-timed fade at the bottom of the hour and hasn't rebounded to usable levels. Salem's website shows no stations on 1120, nor does the Wikipedia list of stations on 1120 show any right-wing talkers of any description in New England, NY, NJ, PA, MD or DEL. It's not WBNW Concord, MA, that runs Red Eye overnight. I checked and it's still running business talk in the afternoons.

So what was I hearing? Are there other 1120s in the Northeast or Mid-Atlantic that carry Salem shows on a piecemeal basis, maybe a station that doesn't show up on the Wikipedia list?
 
You are right. Looking at Wikipedia's list of stations on 1120 AM, there doesn't seem to be anyone within hundreds of miles carrying Salem's talk network.

Could you be picking up a harmonic? Half of 1120 is 560, home of WHYN Springfield MA. It's Talk but that's an iHeart station. They wouldn't be carrying Gorka at 4:30 pm. I'm sure they carry Sean Hannity then. At any rate, you wouldn't be hearing a harmonic unless you were within a few miles of the transmitter.

Puzzling!

Definitely not a harmonic. My radio doesn't have that problem, and WHYN is close to 100 miles away. I'll try again tomorrow, closer to the top of the hour, and see if I can catch an ID. I have far too much hash from various devices to do any serious AM listening indoors. I'll also check that New Hampshire SDR again.
