Doubt it...WVPS is about 115 miles from Brattleboro.  It's 40dBu contour 
barely reaches Claremont...which is still a fair hike from Brattleboro.

However, I can see Vermont P.R. being annoyed with RFB and snitching on 
them.  I can also see why RFB didn't try for a LPFM on that 
frequency...WVPS is a Class C and you gotta be waaaaaaaay far away from a 
Class C to meet the minimum-separation requirements for LPFM on co-channel.
