The parts for the #solar #meshtastic node came out to $224.78 to build one unit.

My node covers at least 7 square miles in a urban/rural area with lots of trees and the antenna is not above said trees (or buildings for that matter).

A better antenna position would greatly increase this range.

Now that I have the spreadsheet, I'm going to reach out to the person at hackspace.io who said they'd host my writeup.
