I placed a 1 uH choke across the antenna jack and the bad the BCI went away. Pixie puts out a solid 1 watt with the choke in place.

Please try this mod and let us know your experience -- good or bad

I have Bci trouble. Just got my rig two days ago. No contact so far but interesting radio.

Did you try a 1 uH choke across the antenna output? Works here in Ottawa reducing BCI from two powerful AM stations.

What is the XTAL frequency in your Pixie?
