Subnostr

Interesting question!

Not without some manual work.

Since the server would not have an active connection, it would never open a connection.

However, you could use an sdr to grab all of the packets as a 3rd party and put back into order. But no, the client makes a 'connection' to the server, with lots of back and forth.

You could in theory reassemble, run crc checks, decompress etc... by hand, but wow it would a nightmare.

Just thought you might be able to do something like a PSKreporter.info where you can see your propagation and maybe see what's being sent on an internet viewer. It would also allow for non ham operators to build som resiliency into the system with a cheap SDR.

Gotcha. I'm not sure how pskrepirter works. I've used it, but never as a listener.

Would help with propogation and connecting to different servers in the future for sure.

Since it uses auth and back and forth, you wouldn't be able to easily pass packets to nostr however. But an interesting idea!

Perhaps a listening sdr could be used to listen on the hamstr frequencies for any valid hamster packet, and report a signal strength/db to a server. It could in theory listen for both client and server packets. Would be a seperate app I think to run and report to a database. Maybe even its own website, that shows a list of known servers and their signs strengths.

You could even setup a bot that posts to nostr the current conditions/signals from various servers worldwide!

I'll add to the list for once I get some of my packet loss bugs and timing issues solved.
