Wireless between sites (less than 1 mile away)

Can anyone suggest a fairly cheap way (if possible) to connect two PC's via
wireless networking together, when they are just under 1 mile away.

Any help appreciated,

Thanks

Possibly from the roof - There are a few other houses along the road, but
nothing bigger.

What is your budget? It can be done for a couple of hundred dollars, there
is no need to get too carried away! That is not a long link.

I follow the radio broadcasting industry although I'm not presently involved
in it.

I'm seeing more and more discussion about radio broadcasting using WiFi. It
is said that a local station is considering WiFi to cover a top-10 US city
with a second audio stream. They aren't just hobbyists - they are owned by a
major nation-wide broadcasting group and are a local institution.

I don't know whether they are considering 802.11a or 802.11b/g . Even with a
low audio bit rate - per transmitter - the agregate of dozens/hundreds of
transmitters............. I'm too ignorant to know if there is a broadcast
mode to WiFi (one to many), or whether each listener would have to be on a
one-to-one connection.

I'd think this would wreak havoc with what we now consider "normal" uses of
WiFi.

Any comments?

I'd doubt they are planning on 2.4GHz, too much legal 'junk' already there.
Cordless phones, burglar alarms, garage door openers, X10 wireless stuff. I
think even my keyless entry for my car uses 2.4GHz. The list of consumer
stuff is just endless and growing. For a broadcaster this is just not an
intelligent idea. Now if the plan is to go into the hotspot business, that
is another thing all together. Just ask McDonalds.

The local radio broadcast outfit in question billed close to $40 million
last year just with their station in this area. I don't think they could be
bothered to act as an ISP.

The McFi will go down in flames in 2 years....
not sure about you, but I don't want to take my
$3,000 laptop into Happy Meal Land to surf the net....
and I'm sure not gonna pay for it to boot...it will
be a big McFlop !
