KRPR 89.9 FM

This is one of the quieter entries in the U.S. Outlying Islands' listing, at 13 of 19. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

The open count against KRPR 89.9 FM is one, 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 classic rock corner of the U.S. Outlying Islands' dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

The gap here is large: 64 kbps where the U.S. Outlying Islands' 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 ice23.securenetsystems.net, which no other entry in the U.S. Outlying Islands 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.
