Bzzt.  Try again and thank you for playing.  Links over miles happen every
day.  I have done on several occasions a 9 mile link over lake erie - one
end is a 13.5db yagi on a 100mw card, the other end is a 12db patch or
omni on a 500mw output.  Works just fine..

Plenty of WISP's will disagree with your "1/2 mile" theory - they seem to
deploy 2.4ghz 15 miles with 22db grids.

7 miles away if the antenna is in line of site with a strong receive gain
is going to be fairly easy.
