[G4] Wireless Setup

Thanks for the input.. I know that it is a long distance and will 
require some level of a higher gain antenna and more directional. Line 
of site one can get out 5 10 miles. I read an account on the net of a 
connection 192 miles via weather balloon. O'Reily Books has a book on 
Wireless hacking which gives some idea for antenna's and they indicate  
10 mile ranges via line of  sight. I sure there are some site where 
these issues are being address. I was hoping I could find some one that 
has done this.
