Hi Howie,

Some ideas.

Were these at antenna feedpoints, and wound according to my 2018 
Cookbook? They are an important contributor to minimizing interstation 
interference.

Might there be passive intermod present and creating these products?

Are you running power amps (for my money, a turn in the punchbowl on 
FD)? Most generate significant second harmonic, and in W6GJB's county 
activation trailer, we run KPA500's in two stations. Double stubs 
ideally placed along the transmission lines to the lower frequency band 
are required on 80 and 40 CW to kill those harmonics.

This a slide deck for a talk I did at Visalia several years ago that 
collects all of the factors I could think of that affect 
multi-tranmsmitter stations.
