Thanks all who helped!

K5TR supplied the necessary information. The problem is mixing 
between WGTG's 6.890 USB transmitter, and an AM transmitter at 
their site on 5.085 

The result is a USB signal on 1.805

This is a similar problem to transmitters at WWCR where the 
product is on 1.860 and 1.855 

SW BC stations run high power transmitters and almost never 
employ enough selectivity or antenna isolation to prevent one 
transmitter from mixing with another.

Hopefully none of these guys will ever have a product in the weak 
signal area of the band!
