- When I noticed the Hackaday prize for IuT!, I decided to put more of my time in the project to speed things up and try to catch a 12.6. deadline with working prototype. (also best mood to design complex systems called: "last minute panic" :) )

- Best thing about LoRa is that the signal range is Literally as far as the eye can see and even where it doesn't if the node is close enough.

- ESP will still be used in combination with SX1272 LoRa module to create a gateway from a hill peak where the concentrator will be placed to a friends house over WiFi.

But the first things first. The most important thing was to order all the things that will arrive from china because the shipping time is usually about 4 weeks.

items on the list were sensor casing, radiation shield, solar panel, ESP modules, long(to reach out of the case) SMA connectors...

Second thing on the priority list was design of all the required PCBs...
