Omni-Directional 15db Outdoor Antenna-boosted distance

[Fred Weston]

Your neighbors will hate you if you spray 700mw through a 15dB omni,
and I'm pretty sure that's way above what the FCC will allow you to
use.  You'd be better off using directional antennas with less power. 
If you do not have line of sight between the two points, then it's
unlikely you will be able to get a connection.
