Subscribes to mqtt.pskreporter.info:1883 over plain TCP and folds
every reception report into hourly aggregates per
(band, sender_grid_4, receiver_grid_4). Each spot is the empirical
"propagation actually occurred on this path right now" signal we'll
correlate against HRRR atmospheric state to recalibrate the scoring
weights. Aggregating at the path-hour bucket collapses 50-reporter
QSOs to one row instead of 50.
Topic filter anchors on USA (DXCC 291) on either sender or receiver
side so the broker pre-filters out everything outside our HRRR
domain. Bands subscribed: VHF and up (6m, 2m, 70cm, 23cm, +
microwave) — HF is dominated by ionospheric propagation, which this
project doesn't model.
Pskr.Client cluster-elects a singleton via :global.register_name —
all replicas start the GenServer but only one connects to MQTT;
the rest stay in :standby and watch for the leader's nodedown to
re-run election. Off in dev/test, on by default in prod
(PSKR_MQTT_ENABLED=false as kill-switch).
Pskr.Aggregator buffers in memory keyed by Pskr.path_key/1 and
flushes every 60s via Repo.insert_all/3 with an additive
ON CONFLICT (count summed, SNR envelope by GREATEST/LEAST,
modes unioned via unnest+DISTINCT). Idempotent across overlapping
flushes and across leader handover.
Dockerfile sets BUILD_WITHOUT_QUIC=1 — emqtt's transitive quicer
dep wants CMake + OpenSSL headers we'd otherwise have to add to
the builder image just to never use QUIC over plain MQTT. Base
image is unchanged; the new dep compiles cleanly into the existing
prop-base runtime.
