Jerry,

Thanks for the advice.  I knew there must be a good reason that I liked the 
sound of filters with less aggressive skirts.

Probably in my case the filter blow-by is what needs to be corrected. 
Perhaps some better shielding or grounding would help.  If that does not 
work I will try another tandem 4 pole filter as suggested by Clark -WA3JPG

73,
Bill - K6WLM
