The entire thing is. However, you can absolutely send encrypted content over ham bands. You cannot be sending it encrypted with the specific purpose of hiding it.
Including it into an encrypted packet doesn't make it illegal per se.
While not offering legal advice here or ever, Markqvist has a fantastic explanation here:

To be fair to my northern brothers, that's a tiny drop. 69 cents to 68 cents. Tiny.
They changed their headline. Google cached version shows to enact. Web says may soon.
Likely Reuters terminal sent out the wrong headlin and went whoops.
No, he said he will decide today.
Awesome! Love to see it.
Over the next few months I'll be working to implement reticulum network In #HAMSTR.
I believe the encryption used in RN is a necessary function for key exchange and auth signing, NOT to obscure the messages within and therefore legal to run HAMSTR on HF bands and also use all RN protocol options.
I run 30 and 40B on my rtx 3090ti on ollama. Most of them run fine, as fast as chat gpt. Gonna need big improvements to go larger though even with 24gb vram. 72B is out of the question currently.
off grid nostr, yes.
For now social stuff and kind 1. Future to include DM, groups, etc..
Anything text based(images are too bandwidth heavy ) that can be published or used by nostr could in theory be incorporated into HAMSTR. Depending on the data sise of said notes ...
Wow. Fascinating. I use Claude as my preferred. I'll take a look.
Proud to call nostr:npub1uwh0m2y8y5489nhr27xn8vkumy8flefm30kkx3l0tcn0wss34kaszyfqu7 a friend. 🫂
Great fucking work man!

Thank you, sir! I now have some extra zaps for a Saturday bball bet.... Let me know! I understand if you are scared.

I'll add as well that this is my first actual piece of real doftware. I wrote a small ham radio logging app with gui a few years back, but that was like 2% of this project. So I am not exactly a pro.
Hahaha. I don't disagree, but if it was released now, I wouldn't yet have any function. Perhaps I will tease more each day as completion happens. 😂
And yes, it will be 100% FOSS. I have no business plan or anything like that for it.
Thanks!
Yes, on my desktop. Lol.
It's on a private GitHub repo currently. Once all the initial features are finished(hoping this week!), and most of the critical bugs are done, I will switch it to public.
It's a python backend on client and server. Server is currently terminal only(just logging). Server is designed to be run headless. Put in your settings and run it 24/7.
The client/frontend side is flask based and the frontend is Svelte and I chose to use flowbite as the UI/component library.
The front and backend is pretty basic. The networking, crc, packets, radio system is much more complicated. But with some guidance, most decent python and even JavaScript devs should be able to read through it and I hope help in any way they can on new features, improvements, and most importantly, bugs and optimizations.
