I listened to XV2RZ for quite a while last night on 20 meters.  He was
only an occasional "ping" in the noise without the APF but perfectly
Q5 for well over an hour with the APF engaged.  With my 30 foot high 
Windom and barefoot K3, I did not stand a chance of working him but the
benefit of the existing APF is night and day.
