I came to the party late.  I hear "Rudolf" ending at 2127 and then going into the Bell Carol.  Great signal on a Pennsylvana SDR.

2205  45454 in Wyomissing. 

2208  May I revise that?  There was a band of noise which stopped for about five minutes for the 45454 and then returned for a  43453 unless I switch to LSB @ 5000 Hz, when all is good again.  Ah, suburban listening!
