Bzzt. Try again and thank you for playing. Links over miles happen every day. I have done on several occasions a 9 mile link over lake erie - one end is a 13.5db yagi on a 100mw card, the other end is a 12db patch or omni on a 500mw output. Works just fine.. Plenty of WISP's will disagree with your "1/2 mile" theory - they seem to deploy 2.4ghz 15 miles with 22db grids. 7 miles away if the antenna is in line of site with a strong receive gain is going to be fairly easy.
