Pulled the #Meshtastic tree node down before the rain arrived and sealed it up.
Super simple solar node with easily accessible parts and no soldering.
Uses an 8.5dbi Rokland antenna (way overkill), T-echo, Voltaic power bank, and (not pictured) two cheap 6W solar panels in series with a 5V USB output.
Antenna and type-N port were electrical taped and then covered with liquid electrical tape.
I previously had the panels hanging loose, so next task is fixing that.
