You'd be surprised at the number of guys who responded with good info who
are NOT SO2R contesters.  The technology is also in wide use, it appears,
on TopBand beverages and other separate antenna situations where an RX can
be zapped by transmitted RF.

I was looking for a less-than-Cadillac approach, because the bandpass
filters favored for SO2R are pricey indeed!
