If you can, get a copy of N0AX 's article from NCJ, May/June 1996, page 19.
Ward reviewed a Broadcast Band Reject filter by Kiwa Electronics, 612 S.
14th Ave., Yakima, WA 98902 which he highly recommended. Their phone is
505-453-5492. I bought one and it solved my problems (which weren't very
bad). I'm sure there are other ready-made ones too. Good luck.
