Take a look at lowband filters and duplexers from CellWave, Telewave,
etc.
Your filter is going to be a coaxial cavity about 2mx20cm with piston
for tuning.
I am sure there are some better approaches to your task

Hi chaps,

I've decided to bite the bullet and try to build an RF filter for
40Mhz. This filter will ideally have a very, very sharp characteristic
at one single spot frequency +-20Khz and attenuate the crap out of
anything either side of this. It'll need to be tunable over a range of
say 200Khz. Can anyone give me a steer on what type of arrangement
would be best suited to fit this purpose?
Thanks,

p.
