this tone question may not be the transmitter in many cases.  I was listeing to WAE last night and noticed not just Europeans, but U.S. signals, but from the north, had odd tones.  some were from stations I know who have clean-as-a-whistle signals.  I think there was aurora even if not enough to see.
