Turning on the PR, on 6M I get a slight increase in the 'whoooosh'. On 10M & 12M the S meter goes to S7 or so and the noise level goes WAY up, sounds like 160M in a summer thunderstorm.

Sounds like you have a fairly noisy location or/and antenna, and
probably don't really need a preamp....... does the "big whooosh" go
away if you disconnect your antenna?
