To this old dog's ears there is way too much ringing. Even in my EME days I never felt the need for these super narrow filters. I used a passive 200 Hz wide filter centered on 600 Hz. A few hours of listening to noise in a too-narrow filter and you start hearing things that aren't there, especially with some distortion thrown in, and ringing is distortion.
Today I prefer a lower beat note (~450 Hz) and a couple of hundred Hz BW is fine most of the time.

So I sought out the weakest signal I could find this morning, R5ZZ, who was not copiable here, but I could hear some Ws working him. I dialed in the APF and there he was, and copiable. So mea culpa. I am now a convert.
