It is not IM.  An excellent discussion concerning the effect you're hearing
is well-documented on the NU9N web site.  As audio approaches the carrier
set point in the lower audio octaves, to the ear it sounds like the presence
of a carrier, but disappears as you tune on-frequency.  Somehow, all
unexplained things only in the presence of modulation tend to be blamed on
IM.
