Default Hum on AM HF receiver

Its MAGNETIC induction from the power transformer into the audio transformer.
-Al


In the HRO, the power trasformer is maybe 20 inches away from the audio
transformer.

My problem is called "tuneable hum". It has nothing to do with filter
capacitors, transformers coupling, cathode to filament leakage, etc.

It only shows up on certain stations. It depends on the path followed by RF
signal (e.g. if it passes through the rectifiers).

Typical cures a

- bypass capacitor across the power supply rectifiers
- bypasscapacitor between mains and ground.

But there still are some stations affected by a considerable hum. I was seeking
some suggestions on what to do more.
