I have a problem with a local AM broadcast radio station bleeding on all my HF bands.
I have a new Xeigo G90 HF radio with an end-fed half wave wire antenna (80-10meter resonant) strung over my house.
Offending broadcast station is Indianapolis station WNDE 1260KHz which is about 4 miles away from me. It transmits 5kw during the day which causes widespread interference, but it’s not a problem at night when they use a different antenna system.
I traced 21 different harmonics of the 1260KHz frequency showing greatest interference, but there is also some level of interference throughout the radio spectrum.
Do you think I have a case to complain, or is this normal from a 5KW broadcast transmitter that is 4 miles away?
I had almost the same issue. G90 running a 10-40 EFHW with a 5000 watt AM station * 1,450 * feet from my antenna. I wound up trying this Band Pass filter from a Ham on Amazon. It had a number of good reviews so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. It works GREAT!

The K9DP 100w broadcast interference (BCI) filter allows amateur radio operators to reduce or eliminate unwanted broadcast interference in their signals. Primary designed to help HF shortwave transceivers and receivers that struggle with front-end…
