I know the MFJ-259 is pretty well unusable below 7MHz at my QTH due to
strong local BC unless I put in an HPF (Kiwa BC-1).
The only problem with filters is that they usually need something close to
their design termination impedance to have their frequency-responses stay
as-designed. A highly reactive load or one with an impedance far away
from the filter's expectations will upset it greatly. A high-Q stub is
much less likely to have the same effect.
