At a previous employer, we had an 18 and 22 mile link on low power DragonWave 3' dishes. They would drop out every time it rained. We replaced them with high power and they dropped out less. On another link we used 6' dishes to go something like 27 miles. That link seemed pretty stable, but holy crap those dishes are big.
