Michael, your receptions are pretty similar to stuff I'm hearing about 300 miles down the coast from you.
Saudi 1521 is a flamethrower up and down the East Coast. Reception two hours pre-sunset, at least near the shore, is not unusual. Here's a recording from a few years back here on the MA coast:
http://www.qsl.net/wa1ion/audio1/dx_saudi_arabia-1521_20060503_2300z.mp3
Germany 1422 always has the electronic sounder and Deutschlandfunk ID by a woman right before the top-of-hour pips.
On 1575 there is both Radio Farda and an Iranian that is battling it. Sort of like the Radio Marti and Radio Rebelde 1180 shoot-out in the Western Hemisphere.
The Iranian is actually a few Hz on the low side of the channel last time I checked.
Italy and Spain are other things that pop up on 1575.
1593 has been Romania more often here than anything else lately though there is the lower powered station in northern France (Bretagne Cinq as mentioned by Jim Renfrew) that might have a shot. Not sure if Kuwait 1593 is still around.
When you have Romanians on their main network coming in (start with 1179) look for a gaggle of parallels such as 855 (mix Spain), 909 (mix UK), 1053 (mix UK & Spain + high-side Libya), 1152 (mix Spain), aforementioned 1179 (with Spain + Canaries), 1332 (mix Iran), 1404 (mix France), 1458 (mix UK), and 1593. If those guys are running music while co-channel other stations are in talk, that makes it much easier. The 909 station is usually 20 dB under BBC Five Live, but if it's playing pop music especially with a female vocal, it can be heard.

Hi all - here are a couple of recordings from regulars here in Nova Scotia.
I'm still a hair away from feeling comfortable with 1575 UAE R. Farda and I
have an unknown on 1593 I'm still working through.
And thanks Chuck for confirming Sawa, and you taught me something about the
Qu'ran and music! - I would've broken out the champagne and party hats for
the African logging, but it was 5AM and I thought my wife might've gotten
upset. :-)
1. SAUDI ARABIA - 1521 kHz SBC Radio Riyadh 0058-0102UTC - AA pop mx, female
announcer. ID @ TOH and into news program.

2. GERMANY - 1422 kHz Deutschlandfunk 0100-0102 UTC - time pips and into GG
news read by a man. I understand that this station (along with many others)
is going away at the end of the year and so I'm glad to get it into the log
now.
