Broadcast station on 40m spilling into 40m Ham Band

On my 6600, I am hearing a SW AM Broadcast station out of South Carolina at 40 over S9 and above. When they play music and in some cases talk, the entire ham band down to 7.150 noise floor raises up and down with the music. And in many cases stations at 7.260+ are drowned out or there is additional signal coming in over or with their voice distorting it. Someone online suggested adjusting the VFO and bandpass but I don't see a way to do that or I have not dug deep enough in the manual for this?

    Won't help. His interfering station is a 40 meter Shortwave broadcast station, probably just above the top of the 40 meter ham band. These filters are for the 500 kHz to 1.7 MHz AM broadcast band.

    And if the signal is going into the band pass, not much you can do. The 6600 has about the best filters around for signals out of the band pass.

    The 6600 has better filters for out-of-bandpass signals than other antennas that's for sure, I even listen to certain radios like this, for example. https://www.radiofmdance.com
