Rádio Estoica

This is one of the quieter entries in Brazil's listing, at 347 of 430. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

With one recorded open, Rádio Estoica sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Brazil's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Tagged flashback, along with 6 other stations in the country and 7 across the directory.

Rádio Estoica streams at 96 kbps, under Brazil's median of 128 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

The stream is served from servidor20-2.brlogic.com:7052, which no other entry in Brazil uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.

The broadcaster publishes at radioestoica.com.br, on Brazil's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
