In Bay City Michigan NOTHING's normal ......... trust me, I was raised
in the are 8-}
Friendly shot complete, what you describe is a classic case of
overload, though I'm surprised it's not from a more local station.
More often, you receive the bogus signal on a direct multiple
(harmonic) of the primary (fundamental) frequency with an offset that
will match your IF - the fact that this is 6x the fundamental = 10 KHz
is odd by my standards.
Is your antenna grounded? I've had overload on a portable with an
antenna that was grounded, was worse when the radio was on the same
ground. Went to a balun without DC continuity and it cured the
problem. Suggest you follow up on the grounding, try it with
antenna + radio grounded, antenna grounded - radio not and neither
grounded to compare results. Also, if using a portable re-examine the
length of the antenna; I've found best results at 50 feet and less
with portables.
Good Luck,
Howard
