[chbot] Long distance data link, advice from the guru's please

[Mark Beckett]

My wifi is 32km link to the Gondala, and uses a gridpack antenna and 
licenced 600mW AP unit.

Even with good antennas at both ends, I doubt you could extend it to 110km.


Problem with most of these is that its "line of sight", so unless you 
can put something in-between you're stuck.
Might be easier to move the Mainland, or use carrier pidgeons to 
transport the SD cards.
