In this case it looks as if the AC0C has a simple SDR with an I/Q
balance problem.  In both cases reported the "spur" is equal distant
on 1,842.65 KHz.

Mike,

 From my remote station which was operated by KY7M in the contest, I noticed 
the same thing from the AC0C RBN box.

....BUT, I am sure the problem is with the AC0C receiver and NOT our K3 
transmitters.

This could happen if the receiver in use was subjected to a signal beyond its usable 
dynamic range. For example, a very strong carrier could mix with another strong station's 
CW to create "ghost" signals (third-order intermod) for the duration of the 
carrier. Another possibility is demodulating a strong signal due to a spur in the 
receiver's local oscillator. Such scenarios are much more likely during heavy contest 
activity.
