I had a similar problem about 15 years ago when I had a model 37
teletype installed at home in a finished basement.  The 37 had a builtin
phone with an external speaker.  The radio interference was so loud at
first that I could plainly hear the radio station (not one to which I
would have listened) at the other end of the house.  The problem was
severely diminished, but not totally eliminated, when the phone company
put a filter on the line.  With the filter in place, I could hear the
radio station when I turned up the volume on the speaker, but not when
the  speaker was set at its lowest setting.

I suggest you report your problem to your local phone company.  As I
recall, the filter cost me nothing.  By the way, how close are you to
the transmitter(s) in question?
