Awesome! We really need more interfaces on nostr. It can't all depend on an efficient, but centralized solution like TCP-IP.. Does your relay already support HAM radio? @Arjen has a NIP for this.. Have you considered using e-cash to rate limit radio access to your relay? @TollGate uses WiFi captive portals to rate-limit MAC addresses' ability to access an internet gateway. However, you have an opportunity to manage traffic using npubs instead of MAC addresses. This is huge, because npubs can sign stuff...

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with most radio protocols (yet). Does the tool you built translate nostr events to analogue signals and back?
My hope is that I can send nostr events to a local relay over TCP/IP from my phone without any extra hardware and your relay can receive that nostr event directly from my relay over radio. Thanks to negentropy, we might be able to cut out the ISP without needing to attach radio equipment directly to our phones.
You will need to charge other relays for events that you send them over radio, because spectrum is a scarce resource.. @Gzuuus, does negentropy require a lot of bandwidth?
