The picture seems to confirm Jim's remark, a variation of 1-2Hz at the 53rd harmonic results is a variation of 50-100Hz at the 2740th harmonic (137kHz)

Not sure about ZL, but here in the UK the 50Hz nominal mains frequency drifts around quite a bit - perhaps a few tenths of 1%. Seen on a fairly coarse resolution spectrogram, the harmonics give a series of wavy lines spaced by 50 or 100Hz, which drift enough to give overlapping coverage during a period of a few minutes. But with very narrow resolution spectrograms, this just adds to the "wide band" noise level, rather than producing well-defined spectral lines, because the frequency does not remain within one FFT box for long enough to produce a line.
Just for curiosity, I visualized the 53rd harmonic of the 50 Hz here in my QTH,
and this is the result.  An unidentified signal is also present.
