Echte Piratenhits

Among the 302 stations in the Netherlands with pages, Echte Piratenhits is around the halfway mark. Anything in this stretch is reachable from the country's numbered pages rather than from its front table, which is why those pages exist.

The open count against Echte Piratenhits is three, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

No language is recorded against this station. The field is optional in the public directory and a great many entries skip it, so an empty language says nothing about what you will hear when you press play. It does keep the station off the language shelves, since a shelf built on guesses would be worse than a shelf with holes.

Echte Piratenhits streams at 192 kbps, which is exactly where the Netherlands' dial sits: the country's median is 192 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 77% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

The stream is served from quincy.torontocast.com:2390, which no other entry in the Netherlands 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.
