Steps

  1. Connect any standard MQTT client to the public broker at mqtt.pskreporter.info on port 1883; no account or authentication is required.
  2. Subscribe to the pskr/filter/v2/# topic tree (or a narrower sub-topic) to receive live spot events as they occur.
  3. Narrow the subscription using topic wildcards to scope results by band, mode, callsign, or Maidenhead grid, as documented on the MQTT service's own site.
  4. Parse each message payload as JSON, reading the compact field names such as t (timestamp), sc/rc (sender/receiver callsign), sl/rl (grid squares), rp (SNR), f (frequency in Hz), and md (mode).
  5. Keep the MQTT session persistently connected rather than polling, since this is a push feed with no historical replay beyond what you're subscribed to receive going forward.
