We're actively chasing a few cases where this has happened on the RBN. Obviously we'd prefer it didn't. One hypothesis for phantom spots on the low bands is strong AM broadcast stations causing clipping and resulting in intermod. Another appears to have been caused by interaction between recording software sharing the USB data stream with SkimSrv. As far as I know, though, all of these issues are in-band phantoms, which would not explain those spots on another band altogether.
