Army FM

Army FM sits at 69 of 125 in Ukraine's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

With two recorded opens, Army FM sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in Ukraine's list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Army FM has no language recorded in the directory. We do not infer one. Guessing from the country would put every station in Ukraine on the same shelf regardless of what it broadcasts, which is exactly the kind of filled-in blank that makes a directory untrustworthy.

Army FM streams at 128 kbps, under Ukraine's median of 192 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.

The stream is served from icecast.armyfm.com.ua:8443, which no other entry in Ukraine 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.
