I've done nearLOS (shooting through 110 foot tall DENSE spruce trees (which 
really suck for nlos) off of the top of a 120 foot tower to a 70 foot tower and 
it was almost 5 miles. I got about 160 Mb which I though was amazing, BUT that 
was on a 40mhz channel. That was with 2 ft rocket dishes with the AF2X, I had 
it up for about 3 days during a school holiday. The 70ft tower was at a school, 
and on Tuesday when the kids came the 2.4 ghz was trashed, I got about 90Mb 
then with a 10ghz channel. The af2x has been sitting in boxes since then. I'd 
be happy to ship them to you so you can try it out, you pay shipping.

I don't think you will get your 150 or 200 Mbps, but worth a try if you can get 
some height.
