Rock Space Station

Rock Space Station sits in the tail of Russia's 471 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

The open count against Rock Space Station 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.

The language field is empty for this entry. It is left empty here too rather than filled from the country, because the shelves on this site are only worth using if what is on them was actually declared.

The stream is encoded at 320 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Russia. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

The stream is served from stream.cassiopeia-station.ru:1225, which no other entry in Russia 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.
