Well this is interesting. Someone shouting:

Trump is a nazi!
The government is corrupt!
I do not want to live in this country!
Abolish ICE!
F*ck ICE!
We must abolish ICE.

And then music at 0118

Hmmmmm....

S3 to S5 signal with fair to nearly good audio heard via the Northern Utah SDR amid lots of noise ...

0121 UTC: "Dance Monkey" by Tones & I.
0122 UTC: Man's voice: "Abolish ICE, Abolish ICE." He said it several times.
0123 UTC: Host singing a bit of "Dance Monkey" and then silence.
0125 UTC: "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.
0126 UTC: Song stopped, and the host sort of apologized for what he said earlier. He's now talking about his technical problems and gave the Space Bar Radio ID. (Frankly, I was more appalled about "Dance Monkey," as I detest that song .)
0127 UTC: Back to "Eye of the Tiger."
0130 UTC: Host back on the mic, chatting about amplifiers, I think. The noise and interference from peskies is making it a bit hard to hear.
0133 UTC: Now he's apologizing for not sending out eQSLs earlier this week because he was sick, and he gave out his email address (spacebarSW@proton.me). He also asked for song requests.
0134 UTC: Talking a bit more about radio equipment again.
0136 UTC: Started song, then shouted-out to HFU and gave ID again, then restarted "Black Betty" by Ram Jam.
0139 UTC: Host stopped the song, then gave his Space Bar Radio ID again, and started chatting again.
0141 UTC: Host clarified he's male, just 13 years old. (I'd mentioned in the last broadcast that I couldn't tell for sure his gender. To be fair, I had a higher voice when I was a 13-year-old boy as well. Now I'm a ragged-voice middle-age guy.)
0142 UTC: "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC.
0143 UTC: Host said he was going to test something, but it wasn't working, then he sent an SSTV transmission that included the station ID and a U.S. map image.
0146 UTC: Host: "It looks like it worked." He then added his dad gave him mac and cheese for dinner.
0147 UTC: Back to "Thunderstruck."
0149 UTC: "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC.

Thanks for the broadcast, Space Bar Radio! I gotta finish up my workday now.

Well, folks .... it was a whacked out 1 hour and 39 minutes
Video aircheck-- if you dare:

Apart from the initial obscenities (more on that in a moment) lots of amateurish stuff with long gaps and rambling and goofing off and some songs. SSTV at 0145 and 0215.

Image at 0115 (0215 was same but cut off)
https://www.popshopradio.ca/20260131_0145_UT_6930_khz_USB_North_America_Spacebar_Radio_SSTV.jpg

The 0215 SSTV was jammed by another operator and there was what seemed to be a war of words between them

As to the obscenities - operator admitted to being 13 years old. He acted like he was about 8. There is no call for use of the F word here.

Actions like this, if noted by the FCC, especially these days, will make it bad for folks like Ballsmacker, B-Side, Mix radio, X-FM, Band-Aid etc who do no harm and are careful to abide by some rules.

Programming was great and rocks sort of like Wolverine Radio style but a trillion time better imo.
