750 feet through the trees: The lower the frequency, the less the trees matter. So 2.4 GHz is better than 5 GHz, 900 MHz even better. Not sure there's a good commercial solution below that. Even 440 MHz is affected, while 150 hardly at all.
No chance you could run some Ethernet, is there? drainage culverts sometimes offer a solution to cross streets...
Yep, just don't ask me to be one of the poor saps who has to lug a steel pipe, plus the payload, up that 60' tower; and then hold the pipe & payload upright and aloft to attach it to the tower.

That's not a desk job. I'll create the drawings, if someone else will do the climbing .
