They have the range to reach you - but you'd probably need a much larger dish to hear them at that range (25 km?) (think of the old satellite dish at the motel on Sherbourne Street)
The dish (probably a wire "dish") would need to be aimed fairly well, and possibly protected from the wind which can get somewhat blustery out there. Wind and rain will always make it worse than ideal atmospheric conditions. However you could look at using your 33.6 as a backup route. Everything is possible, if money is available. Have you got any near neighbours who want faster net access?
