European Pirates and Private Stations / Re: Unid-Greek? 1695 AM 1700 utc 30 Dec 2019

Certainly possible.
The three big centres of MW pirate activity in Europe are The Netherlands, Greece and Russia. (Perhaps Serbia is a fourth.) Greek MW pirates often use a LOT of TX power (as do the Dutch) and have good antennas. Greek pirates congregate between 1610-1750 KHz or so, with the most amount of activity in the 1650-1700 area, especially 1690 KHz in the area of Athens. Most of them will play Greek folk music, interspersed with speech, in sort of a "QSO-style" of operating with other stations. Some will just play Greek music for a few minutes then shut off. Others will just play pop music for a few minutes and then off.
There are periods when the Greeks can be well heard elsewhere in Europe so making it to WNAm seems plausible.
