Topband: BC filter follow-up

[N1BUG]

Thanks to everyone who sent suggestions on my problem. Those who did 
not receive a personal thank-you note is because mail to you bounced.

I thought it might be helpful to post a follow-up with links. In no 
particular order:

Final comments on my specific issue:

The overwhelming consensus is I should not be having anywhere near 
this magnitude of problem with skywave signals. I agree! But I have 
been chasing this on and off for years and have been unable to 
identify a specific problem with my station. I don't know what else 
to do but throw money at the problem and hope to cover up the 
symptoms of what surely is an equipment malfunction.

I have ruled out building. I build a lot of stuff, but filters would 
seem to require test equipment I do not have access to. Flying blind 
is usually a good way to crash. :-)

I am guessing my primary problem is mixing of signals in the mid to 
low part of the BC band, and will most likely opt for the filter 
with the best attenuation at those frequencies. I do not seem to 
hear anything particularly strong at the upper end of the BC band 
anyway.
