I have the recordings made by the referee at WRTC 2006 for this station
which used this filtering arrangement. It is amazing, and is a pleasure to
listen to. I hear no evidence of anything other than good filtering.

I agree

I think this is fast, clever switching and filtering.

I don't think it is all down to filter technology.  The broadband noise
from a transmitter on the same co-ax will get through any filter, unless
it is somehow cancelled out.
