Just came back to radio to hear:
0314 Sent SSTV I didn't catch
0316 Said something I couldn't make out. ID?
0317 Take on Me by a-ha
0320 ID'd as Barefoot Radio?
0321 Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top with what sounds like special effects.
Signal is S3 to S5 at best.
0326 This Charming Man by The Smiths
0328 Babooshka by Kate Bush
0332 Simply Irresistible by Robert Palmer
Got S6 for a minute.
0336 Freezing our butts in the corn field. Mentioned having to use a different transmitter?
0336 Baby, I Love You by The Ramones
Shazam had a better time picking things out when I tuned to 6964.98 kHz.
0340 Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division
0344 OM talking,  corn field... in the noise...
0344 Everybody Needs Somebody to Love by The Blues Brothers
0348 We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister
0352 signing off with SSTV

Not bad for 100W! Glad I fixed my antenna or S5 and below barely would've cut it! I'm impressed!

Thanks for the show! Please eQSL

In the noise but still very readable. Hearing the Ramones now. Heard the DJ "freezing our butts off...had to switch frequencies cause the other radio was overheating"

Baby I Love You by the Ramones. Believe this is an old Ronnettes song? Could be wrong.
0338z Love will tear us apart Joy Division (someone came on 6965 LSB and now over top I believe. Definitely hearing another station with music on top of Barefoot Radio now at 0339)

QTH Ridgewood, Queens NYC with the trusty Tecsun 990. Heavy fading beginning to ramp up.

Any Beatles by chance? All 80s! No problem. Thank you regardless!

More than likely imgur has slightly modified their options so you may have to experiment with it a little. Other hosting sites are similar.
I don't STRETCH the truth.

Department of Unilateral Law....etc 
That concludes this message from the United Nations over and out
Then special message from the United Nations also known as the UN (male voice)
