".....but I would think that 2 high gain directional antennas on 2m or 70cm pointed at each other...."
Yes, for experienced hams that know what they are doing, its a thought.
But this will involve V/UHF radios, modest power levels, beams, towers-- its not at all what Val is looking for.
Wasn't HOA restrictions also a bugger here too ?
But if we are to spin off into esoteric ideas, I propose we do it with 5GHz tropo-scatter.... 10 foot dishes at each end, 10KW ERP on wideband digital ought to make the best, most reliable network yet.
Or maybe high power low band (50MHz perhaps ?) meteor scatter , similar to those trucking companies years ago before 'cel phones------
I am being a smart a---, sorry
