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."
