That line of ntpq output will be visible see on your broadcast server;
it shows the broadcast address for the sub-net you're broadcasting to.
The stratum displays as 16 because that ntpd can't sync to its self. You
would see a similar line on any ntpd which is configured to use its self
as a server.
