KOOL 102.7 FM

KOOL 102.7 FM is deep in the United States' listing, at 1318 of 1,481. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

No opens have been recorded against KOOL 102.7 FM in the public directory. Plenty of working stations sit at zero, because the count only rises when somebody plays the stream from a client that reports back, and most listening never touches the directory at all.

15 stations in the United States lead with oldies and KOOL 102.7 FM is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 75 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past United States.

At 64 kbps this is one of the lowest rate streams on the United States' dial, whose median is 128 kbps. It will hold a connection almost anywhere, which is the tradeoff being made.

The stream address on this entry points at crystalout.surfernetwork.com:8001, which is where 8 other stations in the United States are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.
