I have heard of a case for remote security cameras. Didn't look into details.

I noticed that my WWVB receiver was getting clean time code in the middle of the day. So I asked a coworker in Nebraska whether he's having a good day DXing , unfortunately he said he always seems to be out doing stuff when these opportunities come up.
He did say that we're not done with the current solar event though. Despite the amazingly clear airwaves today, the sun bursts that made the Aurora appear a few days ago are coming back for the next couple of days. He was able to see the last one several nights in Nebraska. Here is[2n New York State we had no such luck.
Had my portable radios out to charge batteries ( and my emergency e-ink device, with survival books ) and was thinking, and once again i almost pushed the buy button on a LILYGO T-Deck, as its so tempting. I do have 2 battery powered lorawan/mesh devices, but they require a phone to actually use them. ( they talk via BT to it ). T-Decks are standalone.
The collapse is coming dont want to be caught with ones pants down for such simple readiness.. But donno if that really would be useful or not, other than in theory. Sure regular radio is valuable, both receive and transmit, for news and to communicate with family members and such, but this? i donno.
And ya, the box they are in, some water resistant solar panels, rated at about 5 watt each. ( anything bigger, wont fit in the box ). Cant say i don't plan ahead ;) Oh, and made in the USA.. so they are what they claim to be.
And related: i really need to find some washers for the antenna on my DX-375 antenna works but it flops around and has to be held upright, but i just cant find anything that works, its soooooo small
Ok i'm a moron, i ordered the damned T-Deck. I don't know why. i don't need it. Idiot.
AND i didn't notice it was was shipping from China ( which i have been avoiding due to costs ). I have never ordered anything from Amazon that shipped from there directly.. Am i going to get a bill for tariff, or was it bundled into the cost?
