That won't work!! It isn't necessary!!

The IM product you hear:

1.) Is on a clear frequency.

2.) Is on a higher frequency where propagation is better.

3.) Is NOT being broadcast with the same antenna pattern. 
(The array at the broadcast station will not have even close 
to the same pattern on 1.81 MHz as it has in the AM BC 
band.)

The only time we want to listen to the main signals is to do 
an audio match when searching for the unknown offending 
station and to prove it can be a receiving system problem. 
If you hear a 50 over nine signal from both stations it 
might be mixing in the receiver or the receiving antenna, 
but if  you can't hear the main signal it doesn't mean a 
thing.
