How long is the link? Can you just climb and look with binoculars, or a hyperzoom camera? Does one end have a strobe you can look for?

Those were pretty accurate before srtm came along. You can download them from a few different sources, but you would have to know what to do with them or have software which could extract the data.

Would you bet $500 on it? In this case, with NED I'll have LOS on a backhaul, and with SRTM I'm in the woods. I'm under the impression that SRTM sometimes gets you treetops rather than the ground. If I'm wrong I have alternate paths, but I'd have to pay for a new PCN....so it really is a $500 bet. :)
