Hello Gabriel -Ramadan Radio  20:00 utc   ID  Computer Voice
How strong did you have their signal? In my opinion, it was broadcast from Germany or the Netherlands.

On the SW England SDR it was a very strong signal (S9+20dB). I suspect it was a high powered Dutch pirate

There was a skip zone with little to no signal around the Netherlands.... so Germany is unlikely.  I suspect the Eastern part of the Netherlands, where most SW/MW pirates are based.

I and others suspect the owner is the same as Johnny Tobacco, looking at the signal quality and strength around Europe.  He uses a couple of kilowatts

I think so too. There was already a report about the "Arab" station from the Netherlands.

Johnny Tobacco sometimes goes by the name of "Radio Abu Dhabi"

That's right - after the waterfall look, I thought it was JT, but it was not his type of music, lead and atmosphere. Or maybe Johnny did a trick to us?

I agree it was from the Netherlands,
but disagree about being from JT.

JT has a better audio.
