From personal experience, WTVN-AM has had third harmonic issues going
back as far as 35 years.
Remove your receive protector and check other antennas to be sure the
"harmonic" is still there. Also turn on the attenuator in your rig
and notice if the decrease in the "harmonic" is the same at the amount
of attenuator or if the drop is much more than the attenuator. If all
the tests (alternative antenna, attenuator) show it is a harmonic, call
the station and ask to speak to the Chief Engineer.
If the station gives you the run-around, call and/or write the FCC.
They have a history of issues ...
