Kiwi Overloaded on MW

I'm loving my KiwiSDR 2. I recently installed a DX engineering RF-Pro-1B loop antenna.

I have a half dozen 50Kw MW stations within 10Km of my location.

The Kiwi overload indicator was constantly flashing with cross talk on all MW channels.

I installed the Flamingo+ AM (Flamingo AM v2) - High Attenuation Broadcast AM Bandstop (Notch) Filter for Software Defined Radio (RTL-SDR) Applications. Blocks 300kHz to 1900kHz on Connected Device

This filter works well, too well. The weaker MW stations are no longer received.

Does anyone know of an AM Bandstop filter with a bit less attenuation?

I'm also interested in building a multi AM channel notch filter to reduce the receiver overload.

Does anyone have experience with the effectiveness of notch filters with high power MW channels?
