A company in FL - well, they might have been blown away by now - called
something like Pizio Technologies makes VHF bandpass filters from "crystal"
elements. Such filters are capable of rejecting adjacent channels in the
150 MHz range and are needed in some cities if you have to put a receiver
downtown.
As Dale points out, it takes a serious filter indeed to perform what you
wish such a filter to perform. On the other hand, I have deliberately tuned
some higher end FM broadcast receivers to a weak adjacent station in the
presence of a fairly strong station to find a bit better than mediocre
performance. Some receivers have much better filtering than other
receivers.
So, as another summery: rotate antenna for best SNR; get a receiver
with better filtering; and consider a special-made crystal filter if you
still have a problem. 73 Mac N8TT

Unfortunately, you will find that the -3dB BW of a single stub is in the
neighborhood of 5% or 5MHz at your frequency of interest. The
discrimination between your desired and undsired channels will be
negligible.
We manufacture a line of small multiple cavity symmetrical and

asymmetrical
notch filters- getting under 0.5% BW with small topology filters is nearly
impossible at VHF.
