I have done the calculations and it appears there will be enough gain to establish a link. But, my experience has been that the implementation can vary, both positive and negative, from the calculated path loss. In this case, there is a bit of a fresnel zone problem that is hard to characterize. The antenna site will require solar panels for power. I've acquired an old-style 9 foot parabolic TV satellite antenna that I'm hoping will have enough gain so that I can get by with a smaller amplifier, and, thus, less required power.
