<If you can you could try unplugging things like chargers, cable converter boxes, computers, and any made after 1990 or so and listen to hear if it makes a difference.>
If you are in a multi unit situation this might help you get away from it. For the bcb you could construct a loop ant which would connect to the ant and gnd terminals. A series or parallel variable capacitor may be necessary to keep peaked. Don't use the DO NOT ADJUST trimmer. It screws up the image rejection.
Unfortunately the interference has a two main avenues to invade your reception. One is thru the ac line which there are filters made for but finding one that works well for a particular situation can be difficult.
The other is thru the air. That can be helped by having a more effective antenna. Longer and higher is good and away from power lines.
My antenna is about 125' long up at it peak at 15'. I get noises from my cable converter some laptop chargers. When it bothers me I just unplug it. During the holidays my close by neighbors put out blinking light that emit a click rf noise. Not much I can do about it as I'm not comfortable with telling them to kill the lights. We all get along well and it's not worth it to make a deal out of it.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
