Stubs are fairly wide band pass and reject filters.  Much more than a ham
band wide.  You have to go to multi-pole lumped filters or crystal filters
to get in band rejection.

The 'Single Coax Stub Analysis' link at:
http://www.k1ttt.net/technote/techref.html#filters
Shows just how wide a typical stub is as a filter.
