Thanks to everyone who responded (on and off list).  As always, incredible 
knowledge and experience here.  It’s very helpful to know powerline noise 
doesn’t normally represent itself with these types of humps spaced ~50 kHz 
apart.  I can then focus more on my loop and Tecsun 660, without being 
distracted by the active dirty poles.
