Frequency is jerking back and forth, enough to be annoying. I agree about the carrier, it's more like DSB than AM. 0135 Happy Trails and seemingly off, then back on with ID. Decent signal into NEPA SDR.
Big into SWDX late 70s through early 90s, then forgot about it and when I returned via SDRs it wasn't at all what I remembered, but I'll deal with it. Grumble, grumble. All SDRs acknowledged, nothing is from my own radio.
