Radio Suquia

Radio Suquia sits in the tail of Argentina's 171 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

No opens have been recorded against Radio Suquia in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

At 40 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on Argentina's dial, whose median is 96 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

AAC+ here, on a dial that carries three different formats. A mixed codec listing usually means a country whose stations are hosted in several different places rather than through one dominant provider.

Radio Suquia streams from streaming01.shockmedia.com.ar:10945. No other station in Argentina is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.

Their site is suquia.ar, a domain registered in Argentina. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
