Emaus Radio

Emaus Radio sits at 11 of 31 in Guatemala's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

With two recorded opens, Emaus Radio sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Guatemala's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Emaus Radio is the only station in Guatemala whose first tag is catholic, out of 31 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Guatemala does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only catholic station.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where Guatemala's stations typically run 128. Rates at this level were designed for dial-up and for mobile data that was billed by the megabyte, and plenty of stations simply never changed the setting.

The stream is served from sh2.radioonlinehd.com:8141, which no other entry in Guatemala 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.
