We always have a similar problem on 160 for field day from a station at
570 kHz.
To fix it we built a can (yes, a can at 570 kHz). Its a helical
resonator, 160 turns
of number 12 wire on a 12 inch sonotube (concrete form tube) in a 45 gal
drum.
Believe it or not its 18 dB deep at 5780 with a 10 kHz bandwidth. I do love
titanic engineering.
Cheers, Gord VE3EOS
