Topband: Post contest season: TX antenna vs RX antenna crosstalk. What do you do?

[N5KM - Kris]

JC,

The shielded 50 ohm load is placed at the RX antenna feedpoint or at
the radio's RX input?

The test to know if you have this problem is simple, disconnect the RX
antenna and use a 50ohms, shielded load to terminate the RX input. Tune on
the AM band and if you hear strong BC signals coming from you TX antenna
during RX with the RX port terminated with 50 ohms you have some homework to
do.
