Might want to consider the one-time cost of a nice directional antenna
pointed at your radio station on a tower (possibly an already-existing
one - cell phone or other radio/communications) at a location with
internet access, versus the yearly cost of other alternatives suggested.
If there are no mountains in the way 52.3km is not a long way for a
radio signal to travel. The engineer who maintains the station should
be able to help, or find a local ham radio operator who is knowledgeable
about antennas and propagation to do the link calculations and determine
antenna gain requirements for you before investing in such an approach.
