Still a bit too weak to make out much, but sounds like a female vocalist at 0150 UT

0153 UTC Tuned in to "I'll Be Home For Christmas"-Bing Crosby (S8 peaks with light noise...sounds nice!)
0155 UTC "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"
0203 UTC "Sleigh Ride"-Ronettes
0206 UTC "Holly Jolly Christmas"-Burl Ives (Signal dropped down into the noise)
0211 UTC Right at the noise floor...I think the band went long here
0214 UTC "Felix Navidad"-Jose Feliciano

Thanks for the first sign of Christmas on 43 meters! Signal was great at first, but rough once the band went long.

02:06  Have a Holly Jolly Christmas    Good reception into Masset, BC.  Noticed that my noise floor is -135 dBm using an ALA100LN aimed 130/310 deg.  Seems to give best SNR for me tonight. 
02:09  What Child is this by Bing Crosby
02:13 The Nutcracker, Op. 71: Act II Tableau 3: Variation 2: Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy by Mikhail Pletnev & Russian National Orchestra
....
02:25  Caroling, Caroling by Nat King Cole
02:30  Transmission cut in the middle of a song.  Perhaps a timer?   Or transmitter fault?
