SomaFM DEF CON Radio (128k AAC)

Position 168 of 1,481 in the United States. The ordering is a click count and nothing more, but at this depth it still separates stations meaningfully, which stops being true further down the same list.

SomaFM DEF CON Radio (128k AAC) broadcasts in English, which is the language most of the United States' stations in the directory use. The country's listing records six languages in total, so the English stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

53 stations in the United States lead with ambient and SomaFM DEF CON Radio (128k AAC) is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 171 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past United States.

Encoded as AAC, one of the three formats the United States' stations use. The country page breaks all of them out with counts.

The audio comes from ice5.somafm.com, and 31 other stations in the United States are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the United States' listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
