Word of warning: a wireeless link over this distance *will* be
illegal.  When you say you have LOS, do you mean you can see
eachother, or you have radio LOS?  The two are mutually exclusive.
For perfect signal quality, you need clear space in an elliptical area
between the two aerials.  You'll need some good gain on the
antennae
to get that distance, but it's not impossible by any means.  Is
your
plan to hook up two 24dB antennae and hope for the best?
