I have a couple of clients doing a similar thing over about 500 metres.
The antenna at each end is a pair of stacked dipoles which are 
omnidirectional.  Another useful device would be a "Cantenna".  This 
would give you point to point coverage as well as increasing signal 
strength.  The major loss is in the co-axial feed to the antenna so 
idealy the TX/RX wants to be as close as practicable.

Check out the offerings from Ubiquiti for stuff like that as well.

I'm checking out a device from Newegg from Hawking but wanted to see if
anyone has experiences they care to share. Basically, we want to extend
the signal of a WRT54G with DDWRT Hot Spot about 300 yards to another
