Grace, Propagation on VHF/UHF is more forgiving than 5GHz. I will bounce off hills and nearby buildings to reach you. -Doug- On Mon, Apr 24, 2017 at 12:38 AM, Grace B Thomson <gracebt@eskimo.com> wrote:
Hello Again.
Even though I can't see in that direction, I can hit the Gold Mountain 2m Repeater from inside my apartment with an at 1 watt and the signal from the repeater here is full quieting. Should this give me any significant hope that I might have some luck with a path at 5+ Ghz?
Just a thought...
Thanks again.
Regards All.

Hi Bart,
I am looking at the L-Com HG5822EG antenna with the RBMetal 5SHPn. Do You think this is a workable configuration:
http://www.ispsupplies.com/L-Com-HG5822EG http://www.ispsupplies.com/MikroTik-RouterBOARD-RBMetal-5SHPn That antenna is only 22 dBi. For a few more dB and MIMO support (also cheaper), you could get a DynaDish:

Or, like Bart mentioned, the QRT-5 is good for window shots.
But if you can't see a site out the window, neither will likely work from that location.
