That was a week with Italian station(s) on 6210/6210USB, seldom identified, maybe several names for only one station, with a new name heard as "SHORTWAVE RADIO ZERO ZERO". About several names, JOHNNY TOBACCO (aka ABU DHABI, aka BLACK BANDIT) seemed to use new fancy IDs (not on this report).
Still lots of Unids. I heard R.MIRABELLE several times without knowing it, maybe more Unid tips were from Mirabelle...
