I'd try a lower freq in AM mode, away from on-air stations.
IOW: Just out of band at the lower edge, maybe 520kcs AMBCB.
Also use as wide IF bandwidth as you have.

Also use a tube type radio... a lot of SS sets don't take kindly to
lightning, and can be destroyed by even a moderately close strike (I had one
give up the ghost from a strike about a mile away).
