The 90kHz spacing and reasonably clean carrier is a dead giveaway. 90 kHz is in the most common range of low or medium power switching power supplies. The carrier was basically clean except for minor

That is a good suggestion because on 160 or 80 things can be conducted a long distance along power lines, often for many miles. On low bands peaks and nulls caused by standing waves and other effects
