Eric,

I mentioned in my post that I have a filter inline. I have tried a number of 
different configurations, different receivers, filters and attenuators. I can 
see the signals on my spectrum analyzer with the BCB filter and a healthy 
amount of attenuation also.

The spurs exist at my antenna(s). Of course there is question as to where they 
are created, at the radio transmitter site, or my neighbors chain link fence...

Was simply sharing another instance of AM multiplexing that has caused issues.

Being so close to the transmitter site. it's quite possible that you are 
experiencing receiver front end overload, and your receiver is generating some 
of these signals.

You might wish to try the AM “brickwall” filter. DX Engineering sells them for 
$195. I have used one in many measurement situations at locations even closer 
than yours — it’s quite effective in knocking down AM broadcast signals to a 
level that eliminates receiver overload and internal IMD product generation.
