Default Frequency doubling

It seems that at long distances should appear the phenomenon of
frequency doubling.
See: http://www.rp-photonics.com/frequency_doubling.html

Is such?
S*

not that has been reported anywhere i have seen. this is likely
because that at the low amplitudes of radio waves relative to the
energies needed to create non-linear effects the medium is close enough
to linear that any doubling effect is too small to see.



You can get ionospheric mixing of radio waves. e.g Luxembourg Effect; so
doubling is possible.

I also once heard a mixing effect of the 10MHz Time signal MSF with the
60KHz time signal ,producing two sidebands at 10.060 and 9.030 MHz, but
that could have been an effect at the transmitter site.

Maybe WWV does the same - take a listen; it's not strong enough here.
