Having the antennas arranged like that would kill the signal more likely than have enough power to drive the second antenna. What you'll be better off with is a reflector. This is essentially what you want to do with the 2 antennas anyway, but it's a simpler solution. (Think of a mirror bouncing visible light waves to your location. Now just do the same for 2.4GHz radio waves.) I know some companies sell reflector kits for their antennas. Not intended for it to be used this way, but you could use that material and fashion it into a form that's appropriate for your design.
OR just forget all of that and do the sane thing which is get a solar panel, a rechargeable battery, and ask people on this list who have used these things for their setups!

Has anyone used a passive repeater before? (I may be calling that the wrong thing....it's where you wire two antennas together with just a piece of LMR-400 to relay or "bounce" signal around a corner, over a hill, etc.) I have a customer that has a hill in between him and my AP. /\ / \ AP / \ Customer The distance from the AP to the top of the hill is about one mile, clear line of site. From the top of the hill to my customer is about .5 miles, clear line of site. There is no electricity out there, no other customers to be gained by putting up another AP( or APPO to bridge the signal) so this is really the only cost-effective way to do it that I can think of. IO was thinking about two yagis on top ot the hill, one pointing at the AP and the other at the customer, and then giving the customer a yagi too. Will this work?
