Guf

Position 273 of 471 puts this station in the middle of Russia's directory presence. The middle is worth browsing precisely because the ordering has stopped sorting by fame and has not yet stopped sorting at all.

The open count against Guf is two, 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.

Discography is one of Russia's headline genres in this directory, and Guf is one of 15 stations there leading with it. The country hub prints the same tag near the top of its own list, so this station sits inside the country's main sound rather than off to one side.

The directory carries no bitrate for Guf. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Russia's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

The stream is served from stream.pcradio.ru, an address three other entries in Russia use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
