Default repair broadcast distortion?

Anyway, I am coming across at least one broadcast message that appears
to be overmodulated, very similar to clipping in audio.


If the transmitter is distant enough for you to be receiving both ground
wave and sky wave, they could be partially cancelling in such a way as
to suppress one of the sidebands, this can mimic all sorts of
distortions.

If you have an SSB receiver or an AM receiver with adjustable bandwidth,
try tuning first one then the other sideband and see if that gives an
improvement.
