LOL
Mike, this is "try it and see what happens" territory.

Mike,
Good to go as long as the TV towers allow you to get the CPE antennas
above the trees.

Most of my coverage area is open fields, so there isn't much to making a
link work.
I have an increasing demand to install an AP in a small town (no point
within town is further than 1/2 mile away from the tower site). I prefer
to use 5 GHz due to the amount of spectrum available. An article I read
said 1.5 db per meter of foliage or 20 db per tree in 5 GHz.
The grain leg is 100 - 150 feet tall. Many houses have TV towers. Radio
Mobile (not counting foliage) says the worst signal I can expect to see
is in the 60s with most in the 50s or 40s.
Safe to assume that most of the town will be good to go?
