If the problem is related to receiver overload, than a trap at the BCB's operating frequency will correct the problem. Unless the problem is related to a non-linear junction (rusty fence wire, etc.) generating local IMD or harmonically related signals due to rectification. If the problem is the a

Boy that is pretty extreme, When i bought this QTH I had a 50KW AM station on 830khz blasting away in the other room from my shack.  Near impossible to operate,  most any band, later the 50kw was moved and power dropped to 1 KW,  that was not much of a problem.   Then the 1KW was moved also, all

Yeah sorry got frequencies flipped. Notch on 1860. See what happens. I live a mile away from 760KHz running 50KW 24/7. I use a W6LVP RX loop with one of his BCB filters in it plus another BCB filter right at the rig input. This reduces the signal from 60+ over to about S9. 73! Mark KA6WKE Website

Explain how a notch filter on 930 can help a second harmonic on 1860? You can filter the broadcast band to zero and the second harmonic is still there. Mark, I use a receiving array and have put a high pass filter on the receiving array to cut the broadcast band down. I have an AM station n

Mark, I use a receiving array and have put a high pass filter on the receiving array to cut the broadcast band down. I have an AM station near here that was doing the same thing. If you can run a separate RX only antenna it helps. If not then a notch filter for 930 may work that you can trans

The 1840 interference from the HK BC station propagates 1000's of miles. I bet they are using a solid state PA without a bandpass filter. Herb, KV4FZ On Mon, May 20, 2019 at 1:24 PM Mpridesti wrote: > I have a local AM station here (about 3 km away) that operates on 930 kHz. > Their second har

I have a local AM station here (about 3 km away) that operates on 930 kHz. Their second harmonic is 1860. Seems they are operating within specification and abide by FCC regulations. But still the second harmonic wipes out any DX on or near that frequency. Signal strength is around S7. Regards
