I say first, that is a very cool idea! I love it. My question is, what kind of equipment would be required to operate it? Thanks

Complicated question sort of.
In the initial release, you will need an HF Ham Radio.
I plan on running a 24/7 HF station/ server for a while to get started. Hopefully others will download and tun them as well all across the world.
The client will need to be an HF radio as well and will need to be the proper licensed ham(legally speaking...), however there would be nothing stopping g anyone from using it in an emergency situstion in the US...legally.
Ans yes, NOSTR could absolutely be used in the future for emergencies I think.
In future releases, I am planning VHF and UHF capabilites, opening it up to lower licenses.
From there, the plan is to add support for the reticulum network, which would open up the possibility of lora mesh nets and even complicated relats and networks like this:
HF radio from anywhere in the world potentially,, to server with hf station with no internet access, relayed via other ham radio, lora, wifi, or even a local tcp network setup, the again relayed via any of the above interfaces to a reticulum station that has internet to be able to post the nostr note, or pull notes, dm, and hopefully if I get if figured out, zaps.
In due time, lol.... I have had to create a mini packet radio network stack from scratch.... and I am not a developer, in fact I am bad programmer...
I am interested ing hearing more and trying it out. Been thinking of something like this but not a developer so don’t know we’re to start. I am a HAm and centrally located with HF capabilities so would like to help if you are looking at relay options
If I use this, will my npub be tied to my callsign in any way?
