When you've got a quarter of a million watts of medium wave transmitters
blinking their tower lights on your horizon, it's a problem. And I'm
5-7 miles away.

Especially with a Kenwood R-1000 which uses diode switched bandpass
filters in the front end. Since I got a portable to tote around,
I found that If I want to use another receiver in the house, I have
to turn on the R-1000 to bias the diodes on or off, (or disconnect the
antenna), otherwise the spectrum is filled with intermod reradiated from
the antenna.


You could try replacing the standard switching diodes with a hot carrier
PIN type like the 1N5711.
