A friend of mine in our local radio club sent me the following email

"I'm 6/10's of a mile from an AM 910 KHz. transmitter. They operate with 5k
daytime and 2k at night.

They're S9+45db on 160 meters with clear audio and S9+35db on 80 meters.
have an inverted "V" resonant at 3.715 MHz. orientated east-west, towards
their reflector tower."

The station is willing to pay for a filter for my friends station,  and he
has looked at notch and band pass filters but has concerns.

I recommended he look at transmit high pass filters to knock out signals
below 1.8 Mhz and provided him with various links:

I have no practical experience with any of these filters and was wondering
what the TB Gang thought.

He would prefer one that handled 1.5 KW but I told him he may have to
settle for 200W.

He prefers an "out of the box" solution.

Thanks
