Hypothetically you could have a network of mobile devices that broadcast Nostr events via WiFi Direct or something.

Just a random idea off the top of my head.

Packet radio or APRS over ham radio, or probably more accessible would be the same interface over GMRS or FRS handhelds.

Reflashed old-school Linksys wifi routers as a mesh network.

Technically, if mobile clients were setup to run a lightweight relay on the backend, they could listen for "packets" with events to be picked up and relayed. You could use NFC, Bluetooth, open wifi networks, whatever. As individuals moved about their devices could harvest and redistribute nostr data that eventually makes it's way to the broader network without the sender even needing a data connection.

I would call this #Hamstr but that name is already in use 😜
