Module pistar 

Pi-Star JSON host file fetcher.

Fetches the canonical D-STAR reflector host list from http://www.pistar.uk/downloads/DStar_Hosts.json and upserts each reflector into the reflectors Postgres table.

The Pi-Star host file is the most comprehensive public registry of D-STAR reflectors, maintained by the Pi-Star project. It maps reflector callsigns to IP addresses and categorises them by protocol type (REF/XRF/DCS).

Poll interval: daily (default 86 400 s). The host file changes rarely — new reflectors appear at most a few times per month.
