MR4 - Nemzetiségi Adások

MR4 - Nemzetiségi Adások is deep in Hungary's listing, at 111 of 118. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

A German station transmitting from Hungary is a rarity in this data: one of the country's entries carry that language, against a listing whose commonest is Hungarian. Combinations like this are the reason the site indexes language separately from country.

German radio in this directory sits largely in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with 2,099 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

MR4 - Nemzetiségi Adások shares its leading tag, folk music, with one other Hungary entry. Across every country the directory has 18 stations leading with it, so the rail below is mostly a trip abroad.

The gap here is large: 40 kbps where Hungary's stations typically run 160. 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.

9 of Hungary's entries are served from mr-stream.connectmedia.hu, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
