I have gone through the same process that Bret describes, and found only
a couple such instances out of thousands of spots on one day.
So I guess I need to ask again - will you make your methods and data
public, Bret?

The most popular version of QSD receiver has EVEN HIGHER response at
harmonics of its LO than -60 dBc
Though it should be noted that the LO spurious response of QSD
receivers does not appear on multiples of the frequency the signal is
really on.
Direct sampling SDRs can have a spurious response that will appear on
multiples of the frequency the signal is really on. Or AROUND the
multiple of the frequency the signal is really on, as can be seen from
RBN spots.
CT1BOH has shown multi-multis who might find themselves behind DR1A in
the next CQ WW the basis for making the same complaint.
I found it easier to see the spurious responses of the various SDR
architectures from looking at RBN spots on weekdays, as the few
DXpeditions or special event stations that might actually be on >1
band simultaneously are easy to find/exclude.
Figuring out which RBN spots or signals in a recording from a SDR are
actually there as the station has >1 transmitter QRV or is really a
fecal signal - or is just a spurious response of the SDR - should make
for a good challenge.
