No chance.
1) All half-way modern SW stations broadcast on multiples of 5 kHz. DW, with
ruthless teutonic effiency, would never allow a 600 Hz offset on their
transmissions :-)
2) Assuming a modest 60 dB rejection of all harmonics, a 500 kW Tx would only
radiate 500 mW on the nth harmonic, and into a non-resonant aerial at that!
No, I'm quite sure the answer lies in a shortcoming in the scanner, and/or
some funny mixing product.
