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.
