Default repair broadcast distortion?

As those who have been following along know, I am making a rather
hurried effort to record, for my personal archives, several time
stations, particularly the US ones that were originally scheduled to go
off the air at the start of the year, but were saved. Anyhow, progress
is proceeding nicely with clean up of the signals; in fact, I doubt I'll
have to use any NR as I am carefully lifting good signal sections and
layering them in/ over more noisy spots. Takes more time, but I think
it will be worth it over NR.

Anyway, I am coming across at least one broadcast message that appears
to be overmodulated, very similar to clipping in audio. At first I
thought it was the way I was recording it, but even trying various
receivers in other locations, this one message overmodulates the
transmitter a bit. So the question is, can I fix these two or three
spots? With a digital recording, it would be a no brainer to provide
declipping fix, but this case is different because the clipping is
already present and not something I caused. I still have access to
Adobe Audacity CC 2018, but hurrying fast as the trial runs out
tomorrow.

Thanks!
