I’ve had good luck with this tool

Put both coordinates in this tool and you’ll get an idea if mountains or hills are in the way. A visual spot is always the best.

The below on the https://caltopo.com/m/5C7I shows a red line between Mile Hill and Baldi-MileHill.  If I placed my Hamwan dish at the Mile Hill Coordinates and pointed it to Baldi, is it possible I might be able to make a connection?
 
This may not be possible as I would not be at the same elevation of Mile Hill.

Subject: Intercept a HamWAN Station 
 
Hello,
I have a concept I want to try to see if I can intercept a Hamwan signal using my Hamwan dish connected to my notebook in my truck.  I built a Hamwan dish system that attaches to the trailer hitch of my truck that can remotely scan the sky in a xyz position searching for a Hamwan signal (Yes line of sight).  I planned on trying this before the Hamwan was removed from Green/Gold Mountain and I never got to try it.
 
Since I am driving in the dark to try this with zero experience, I would like to see if someone would be kind enough to answer the below questions?
 
1.       What software do I need to install on my notebook for doing the search for a Hamwan station and to receive a Hamwan transmission?
2.       Can you provide a screen shot of what I would see when I receive a Hamwan transmission?
3.       For me to transmit to a Hamwan station do I need to use some code or special transmission script?
4.       How often does a Hamwan station transmit or can I ping the Hamwan station as the dish moves to get aligned?
 
Thank you for any help.
