Nope. It was 2.5 watts on Saturday, but this sounds stronger. Still only a weak carrier here, far from how it was before.
Here’s another reply to Ron Howard from the op:
"Thank you for keeping track of things! I am sorry I cannot respond fast enough. Thank you again.
Tonight, June 18th 2023, I have successfully built [picture attached] and launched my first AM broadcast transmitter capable of putting
out 100 watts. Well almost that, I need to sort out the HVAC system because it cannot keep the place cool during the day and I have not
setup any timer mechanisms. If I run full power I risk blowing the Chinese knock off of the k20a60u. I ordered different transistors and
those will give 200 watts PEP. The output power is like it was last time before the old radio failed, 9 watts carrier and 76 watts PEP or
more. Propagation is best after 18 UTC during the summer. However, in general it has been very poor recently.
I do not know when I will get to renaming the station if I ever will, it will be just the regular Japanese show on MTW night. I still have a
ton of new music that has piled up and needs to be IDed and so on."

June 20 - Yes, significantly stronger signal via the new transmitter on 7400 AM (slightly on the low side); 1202-1300 UT, June 20. Playing a lot of music;
very brief announcements in Russian with music ID; sometimes with repeated theme music, followed by announcer with music ID; at 1223, the often
heard segment with child and man talking in Russian; at 1300, the start of strong QRM from 7395 (Alaska). Today was certainly better than the recent
2.5 watt signal.
