I've been thinking about creating a sort of data bus for ham radio applicatoins and data plumbing and considering using MQTT. My ideas so far:

Data Sources:

- flrig/fldigi XMLRPC
- WSJT-X UDP
- PskReporter MQTT
- POTA Spots???

Applications:

- log entry client
- propagation monitoring
- spotting/hunting interface
- multi-modal grid tracker
- timeseries exporter

Benefits of MQTT:

- trivial logging to JSONL
- multiple consumers
- clients can publish derived data

Thoughts?
