Radio Channel Eastern Star 7400 AM 0730 UTC 18 June 2023

[Ron - Calif.]

June 18 - Heard definite improvement in the signal on 7400 AM, from 0730+ UT. Recently had not been able to hear
the 2.5 watt signal, but today occasionally above threshold level audio (better than normal propagation or slight power
increase?); at 0742, heard bits and pieces from the distinctive segment of Russian IS, IDs in English ("Radio Channel
Eastern Star") and Russian, plus political spot about the "Socialist revolution." Most of the time I heard just a stronger
than usual carrier, but some segments with positive music/singing. Suggest the best chance for reception is to catch
the Russian IS segment, as it is the most recognizable feature here. Is definitely a challenge!
