What problem can occur when using an automatic notch filter (ANF) to remove interfering carriers while receiving CW signals?

AnswerRemoval of the CW signal as well as the interfering carrier

An automatic notch filter looks for steady narrow carriers. A CW signal can resemble the interference it is designed to remove, so the desired CW may also be notched out.
