And we a few fairly local power houses at 590 and 630 and 1300.
On the 7030+ I could receive the 770+590 fairly strong the , the
770+630 and and the 770+1300 very strong. In a nearby park about
twice as far from the 770 station as my home, I get no mix
products. The 770 is so strong that it will show up in most
receivers even with the antenna disconnected and replaced with a
50 ohm terminator.

Is there any possibility that you have the rear-panel pre-amp
turned on in the 7030?

What happens when you add in 10 dB or so of attenuation?

I tried adding 10 db attenuation and even more, but it didn't help.

Describe your antenna.

Does your antenna have any mechanical connections that could be lose or
have rust between conductors?

Besides poor connections forming diodes out of oxides it could be that
your antenna is exceptional at picking up AM broadcast band. Are any
over S9 when tuned in?
