The problem, as I see it, would not only be signal strength, but also
overcoming the curvature of the earth with suitably high antennae on both
ends

Hi all,
Some friends from south of France submitted the idea of a 5 GHz link
between France and Corsica. The distance is 200-250 km, mostly over the
sea. It's far longer than what I could see on HamNetDB, for example. But
it's shorter than WiFi world records (some of them attempted more than
10 years ago between Italy and Sardinia). I never attempted links longer
than 40km, so I don't have any experience. And we don't have any SHF
expert locally...
1/ Do you think a permanent and stable 250 km link over the
Mediterranean sea is doable ? Are some of you using such long links in 5
GHz ? If so, could you share your technical experience here ?
2/ Are there any people from Italy on this list ? Are there any
volunteers between Genova and Roma to attempt a link with the East coast
of Corsica ? If it works, would there be an interest in establishing a
permanent link ?
Thank you for your comments,
