HARTMUT (HD Stream)

This is one of the quieter entries in Germany's listing, at 1383 of 1,409. 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.

No opens have been recorded against HARTMUT (HD Stream) 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.

HARTMUT (HD Stream) is the only station in Germany whose first tag is deutsche musik, out of 1,409 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Germany does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only deutsche musik station.

The stream is encoded at 256 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Germany. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

The stream is served from hartmut-hd-radio.triggerfm.de, which no other entry in Germany 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.
