I have an SDRPlay and we have this religious AM station here in DC/MD on 1120kHz and it blocks out alost every signal below 30 MHz. There is also this religious station out of SC where the guy sounds like a troll and just spews right wing propaganda, very annoying to listen to.

I found two sites that sell traps but when you call they are out of business; clifton labs and some ham radio guy.

I have tried everything else but the better the antenna the worse this gets. Even overloads my portable radios. I would make one but cant find the inductors/ dont have the equipment to make one.

Thanks! Everything I have tried seems to just make these two stations worse. Its like they come in on top of another signal but only if there is a signal present first. Does anyone know the technical reason of why this is? The better the antenna is the stronger these signals get, it's almost more usable with a crappy antenna and no balun or unun (I think its a nine to one or eleven to one torroid) .
