Just for your info (not that it makes the QRM less objectionable...)the 40 M ham
band in Europe and regions other than North America is only 7000 to 7100 KHz.
Unfortunately for us, the broadcast stations are there legally above 7100.

As to the stations you mentioned within the 7000-7100 subband: are you shure
they are not received as image frequencies in your receiver? If the stations
listed 7.025  Fujian, China,  7.065  Tirana, Albania and 7.105  BBC, Ascension
are indeed on these frequencies, they'd be  operating there illegally.
