Norddeich Radio was also an impressive signal on about 1830kHz CW when passing traffic for, I think, the North Atlantic Weather Service.  I believe some East Coast Ws used it as a propagation indicator.  

On a very close frequency, also on CW, you could find Ostend Radio - or was it Antwerp?.  The only way I could separate the two was to use the G6CJ Stereocode processor.
