They had amplifiers for testing, but they were not needed for the 125 mile link.
The only time they tried the amps was when the remote group was on a mountain in Utah 145 miles away but could not quite reach the desired coordinates 2 miles further and hundreds of feet higher, the road ended and the terrain was too rough to continue driving. They were a little too low in elevation, with a small mountain peak obstructing the two locations, they tried unamplified and amplified, and the 802.11b link would not work. If they made it to the desired location, I'm confident that they would have successfully linked up at 145 miles.
