February 2010 first weekend DX

This weekend I visited my old QTH in the countryside, in the middle of nowhere, Central Finland region. RX: Icom R71E with long wire of 25 mtrs in the forest, with ground and balun. Loggings from 5th to 6th February.

585 kHz 16:59 RUS: Radio Rossii, Perm. Network ID, not daily station.
684 kHz 17:01-18:05 RUS: Radio Radonezh, SPB. Strong, QRM from middle-eastern station, which may happen during this kind of conditions.
1359 kHz 22:30-23:16 UKR: Radio Center, Donetsk. Regional programming in the night time with nonstop music and local ID as "...Donetsku..Radio Center"
1386 kHz 01:27-02:05 E: Euskadi Irratia, Bilbo-Bilbao. Classical music program and news.
1602 kHz 14:40-14:50 FIN: Scandinavian Weekend Radio, Liedenpohja. Extremely bad signal, weak, noisy and hard to understand what they said, but clear Yankee stylish ID!
1629 kHz 01:04-01:08 HOL: Radio Anton. Giving reports.
1665 kHz 23:53-01:25 HOL: Relmus Radio, Holwerd. Pirate station operated by 23 yrs old guy from Friesland, playing the best 70's songs and giving nice jingles.
1690 kHz 23:22 GRC: Stahtmos Sylvania, Thiva. Mentioning Sylvania several times. Thiva is situated 100km north from Athens.
6376 kHz 10:20-10:35 HOL: tent Radio Continental, Noord-Nederland. Fading in and giving clear ID. Nice surprise, new station for me and the only heard 48-pirate during these horrible conditions. EDIT: not sure of this one, logged as Radio Dutchwing at this time(!)
9000 kHz 14:50-15:44 TWN(?): Sound of Hope Radio International. Interesting one. Playing nonstop chinese classical and at the top of the hour silence for 5 minutes, WRTH clandestine section solved this mystery easily. A jammer jamming for nothing organized by a Christian Church. WTF!?
