what is the best filter to buy for my part 15 am.station
 

i need a filter for my part 15 am radio just to be on the safe side
cause the army choppers fly around here frequently

Probably not a problem. There communications are normally FM. The only AM is
on the aeronautic band around 120 Mhz and Army common 243 Mhz. :)

How much power are you running, and on which frequency? Necessary info to
help you with a filter.

Lemme see.... At 1700 KHz I would say that the optimum filter would
be a piece of copper strap about 1/4" wide and 1/2" long placed right
across the output of the transmitter.

Stop back sometime and let us know how this works out.

Scarcely seems like a "Part 15" AM station under those conditions?

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

May I suggest that you direct your enquiry to the nearest FCC office. I'm
sure they will be very keen to help you!
