S7 to S8, good modulation, some deep fades.  Apparently a different relay than the station that was on 6876 khz.
Less fading @ 0130, good copy.

At or just above the noise here with some S3 peaks on about 6848.5ish at 0128 UTC.
0131 UTC Music now, but can't tell what song is playing.
0134 UTC IS repeating, then a child singing a little ditty, a phrase repeated, then IS again
0136 UTC Child singing the tune again, then OFF?

No joy.  I had a just barely audible, faintest thread of sound carrier here at 0127, but nothing more. 

Goshdarnit, I've been wanting to hear this one for years, ever since I heard mention of Happy Hanukkah Radio as a commonly-heard December pirate courtesy a DX program in autumn 2002.  Glad to know they're still around, even if I didn't hear them tonight.  Cheers, whoever you are!
