I suppose there is no possibility of a mast to give you LOS to top of

a box on the crest?
Power to the box would be nice, but solar could be made to work.



Sadly not.
It's already occupied by Portishead police "village" and a big comms tower.
Don't think they'd give me mast space for a domestic illegal LAN extension.


They will rent you mast space for anything legal, but the cost is about
5 grand a year with rack space and power, plus they will charge you per
antenna to install irt all.

I did consider sighting up a suitablly positioned large building in
S.Wales and reflecting the signal as both sites have a clear view across
the River Severn.

I think it's just going to have to be VPN and a slow as old chips DSL
connection.
But that's missing the spirit of adventure.

Indeed.
