capacitor

Place a smaller capacitor (say 100pf or so) from the signal input to ground. This will help keep the RF out of the audio signal path. Use short wires for everything. The shorter, the better. Long wires pickup RF, and they make it harder to get rid of it. Likely, that won''t be enough. If all that doesn''t help, put the amplifier in a small metal box.
