Any rusty joint connected to a suitable conductor excited by sufficient RF can create intermod and harmonics that can be quit strong if it is near the receiver even if the transmitter(s) are perfectly clean.

Possible that the intermod was being created in your receiver front end!

Every AM broadcast station is required to perform annual measurements, searching for

station’s occupied bandwidth, measure harmonics, up through and including the 
6th and search for spurious signals, below, in and above the broadcast band.
Yes. But do those spectral measurements also include intermod products? I 
started out in ham radio in jr high school with two 5kW non-DAs within a mile 
of each other and about 1.5 miles from me, on 930 and 1470 kHz producing a 
strong product at 3870 kHz. There may have been others products, but that one 
gave me a lot of grief.
