I'm going to be trying to make a node (based on a youTube video) with a solar panel to run 24/7 operations. I might try it out with several radios (Raspberry Pi Pico based one and mabe a RAK) to see how they fare (better/worse range, battery life, etc.). I'll post back my notes here when I have test results.
I was thinking that one should get permission before mounting something on a tower. As Bitcoin Veterans (nprofile…urtf) has demonstrated, a Meshtastic node can be helpful in an emergency, so getting permission might be possible. I want to get the solar & weatherproofing down first before trying to coordinate to get tower space.
