I contract to perform spectral measurements for most of the AM stations within a 100 mile radius of my home.  I have the necessary equipment and travel to within approximately 1 kilometer of each transmitter site.  I measure each station’s occupied bandwidth, measure harmonics, up through and including the 6th and search for spurious signals, below, in and above the broadcast band.

Yes. But do those spectral measurements also include intermod products? 
I started out in ham radio in jr high school with two 5kW non-DAs within 
a mile of each other and about 1.5 miles from me, on 930 and 1470 kHz 
producing a strong product at 3870 kHz. There may have been others 
products, but that one gave me a lot of grief.
