Hi Ron,
Your SSTRAN sounds better than my Talking House and just about any AM Station in the NYC Area. Very clean!
With all of the computer based stuff, IOT (Internet of things) stuff, CFL and LED Bulbs, WiFi, 3, 4, 5G, etc., it is difficult to test a radio. I took an Emerson 888 out into my back yard, and about 50 ft away from my house and neighbor whose back yard abuts mine), I could get stations. The closer I get to my house, the power lines, etc., the worse it gets. It doesn't help that in my area, armored cable or metal conduit is not common. (Of course, every time I add a new circuit, I thank God that the local code allows Romex and PVC Conduit!).
Even out in the car, unless I get onto the Parkway or Long Island Expressway (the world's longest parking lot), AM Reception is horrible. I am only 50 Miles from WABC, WFAN, WOR, WCBS, WINS, etc., all of these being 50KW Clear Channel stations.
I am going to try an outside ground for my Talking House Transmitter.
I am still lighting candles for you and other Cancer Warriors at Church. God Bless!!
