I've heard a few GA stations lately as a matter of fact. Floor noise has been very low at times here anyways.

Right back @ you, been awhile but new laptop solved it, I got a little over 5 yrs from old one. Hope all is well in P/Orange, maybe catch up someday, @ 74, I am slowing down. BTW, what's your feeling on Palomar 250/top rib ?
555
 
It's an okay amp. They just don't like to be over driven. Heck haven't used the thing in so long I forget I have it sometimes LOL! It works well with the 980 set at 10-12 watts pep on SSB and about 2w DK and 8w pep on AM. Like I said I haven't used it in so long due to having the Icom 746 and also a kenwood ts140s. Just no need for more than 100w and a good antenna! The sirio vector 4000 is what makes it all work so well!! Love the antenna.
 
Here are a couple photos.
