Dear OM Philip,

first let me thank youu for your awesome project! I am using pskreporter since 2 years and i really like using 
it and i really appreciate the additional value you provide to the hamradio community with your project! :)

At the moment i am building tools to export wsjt-x received messages and even the results from your pskreporter service into mysql and prometheus.

The idea is to have a tool which you can use to analyse at which time you were able to send and receive a specifix dxcc or even callsign.
Basically it is as service as your pskreporter, but with long time history and very flexible queries and visualisations :)
And it allow storing data from multiple stations, so your are to compare the situation from your station with your friends over the last year for a single band for example..

Right now this already doing pretty nice and i plan to publish it on github in the next days/weeks.
But before publishing it i would like to hear your opinion on the integration of your service.

Right now every connected station polls your API every 5 minutes. (at the moment there are only 2 active stations)
I already try to keep the traffic minimal by using the parameters rronly=true and tracking the lastseqno and use it for further requests.

But when running locally on each station i am afraid of generating too much traffic which could maybe affect applications like GridTracker which also query your API and so maybe hit your servers rate limit.

So i am thinking about centralizing the lookups against your API.
So instead of having 2 polling instance which query only their own callsign i am thinking about one instance polling 2 callsigns for example.
But with my current state of knowledge i think i have to run 2 single queries.

-> Is that correct? Or is there a way to ask for more than one callsign with a single query? 

-> I also plan to add the parameter appcontact. The idea is to provide my mailaddress as i am the maintainer of the code and not the address of the user right?

If i could make a wish for a feature it would be a way to suscribe for callsigns to 'livestream' incoming events from pskreporter into my application without the 5 minute delay.. but i can imagine that is not trivial!
I just wanted to mention it ;)

I would be very happy if you could say something to my questions and if you have any other feedback i would really appreciate it!
Thanks again for your awesome service! :)
