What do you mean by "splash"?
I have Beverage antennas of 450 and 700 feet, oriented toward my desired
targets *and* (unfortunately) a number of 50kw MW stations in the
Seattle/Tacoma area. I also have a 1 kw station 1.4 miles off the end of
one of the antennas. I have a number of S-9+65db stations on the dial, but
my R-75 and IC-756Pro handle them well. However, I'm not using the hi-Z
input but the 50-ohm unbalanced input via a Beverage matching transformer
and grounded, double-shielded coax.
Have you tried adding a transformer and the 50-ohm input?

Hiya, Guy.... That is exactly what I already have currently with one of my
roof antennas, the 200' "Frankenstein. That antenna is ideal !!!! A great
DX'ing antenna. Detailed info is on my web page. See the link in my
signature. I just decided to try the 300' wire with no additional dressings
like transformers or coax feeds. The end result... The local AM flame
throwers are strong enough to overload the front end even on an R-75.
