5025 kHz AM

At tune in time, around 2138 UTC, the audio on 5025 kHz was nearly unreadable....then at around 2139:30, the regular OM announcer with background music came back on with full modulation and much better sound.  At 2140 UTC (as I type this) it sounds much better.  Not sure if they were having transmitter or audio problems or if they were playing an ancient recording....now hearing music at S9+10db....at 2141 UTC the audio again sounds muffled, possibly recorded at an outdoor event?
