defmodule Microwaveprop.Pskr do
@moduledoc """
Ingestion of the PSK Reporter MQTT firehose
(`mqtt.pskreporter.info:1883`).
## Why we listen
Each MQTT message is a single reception report — *station X heard
station Y at SNR Z on band B at time T*. Read across millions of
reports, this is a continuous, geolocated, timestamped record of
*did propagation actually occur on this path right now?* That's
the empirical signal we correlate against HRRR atmospheric state
to recalibrate the propagation scoring weights.
## What we keep
Topic structure (from the broker landing page):
pskr/filter/v2/<band>/<mode>/<sendercall>/<receivercall>/<sl>/<rl>/<sa>/<ra>
We subscribe with country-side wildcards anchored on USA (DXCC 291),
so the broker pre-filters to spots involving at least one CONUS
station — anything else can't be cross-referenced with HRRR
anyway.
Per-spot payload (verbatim keys, also documented at
http://mqtt.pskreporter.info/):
sq f md rp t t_tx sc sl rc rl sa ra b
## What we discard
The aggregator collapses every spot inside `(hour_utc, band,
sender_grid, receiver_grid)` into one `pskr_spots_hourly` row.
We keep counts + SNR envelope + the set of modes — the
individual report identity, sequence number, and exact intra-hour
timestamp are dropped on the floor. A 50-reporter QSO becomes a
single bumped count, not 50 rows; that's the design, not a
limitation.
Locator precision is preserved as reported: a spotter who shares
`EM12kl` keeps subsquare resolution, while a `EM12kl37` reporter
keeps extended-square resolution. The bucket key uses the full
grid, so two spotters in different subsquares of the same field
produce two rows — that's the right behavior, since they're
literally different paths.
