The problem would be that you need to trap out the BC signals BEFORE they reach the tuning diodes. In the good ole days with signals that were no more powerful than now, a small antenna, a coil, capacitor, and a diode would produce enough rectified audio to drive a pair of headsets WITHOUT any amplification whatsoever. So there is plenty of RF to intermodulate two BC signals on a tuning diode, even if the IM is 60 or 70 dB down. 73, Guy.
