From World of Radio:
Hi Glenn - Back on May 30, noticed a carrier on about 7399.83 kHz. AM, from tuning in at 0735+ UT. Best reception occurred
at 1101 UT, when I noted the often heard distinctive segment with a child's voice, along with a man. Sounded like the usual
Russian programming of "Radio Channel Eastern Star," with a lot of songs, but most of the time I was only able to hear the
carrier. Sent off a reception report and audio clip (attached).
Am very grateful that on June 6, I received the following informative reply. Ron (California)
"Yes thank you very very much for following along with me as I am setting up this new transmitter!
The power level at that time was around 5-10 watts carrier. However, by the time I write this email, I have drafted a different design
which gave me much better stability and audio, however, the carrier power is only 2.5 watts. Right now I am transmitting on 7401 khz
or so, I will fix this later, it's not too hard, just a line of code. I am currently working on the amplifier to get those 2.5 watts to 25 watts
carrier, once everything functions properly I will have the free time to send out QSL cards etc.. Please remind me on my other email
as well, 87.7fmradiopushka @ gmail.com .
Yes, I am going to rebrand the station into Kawaii FM, or at least that is my plan for now. There is already a Japanese segment of the
show on MTW evenings. Thank you again very much for listening, I might mention your name on air sometime if you are ok with it.
I apologize for the poor modulation on that day, the transmitter was not working the way I would have hoped too, I forgot that mosfets
have a threshold voltage."

Weeks ago, the op of Pushka told you (I think) that he had given up SW but that the SW station you heard in this frequency range "might have been his friend". The days when your friend was your (postal) maildrop passed a long time ago; in the age of email it's basically unnecessary.
Hmmmm.
No big sinister plot to uncover here. I'm just noting it.

He posted on Discord months ago saying this is him.

Sorry Charlie, wrong again. See what happens when you assume, Mr. Nuevo Wavo?
