The other thing, if it is Line of Sight, as suggested by previous posters, is a VHF radio link.

I would not bet my load on line of sight! I have seen days where VHF (tropo)will travel 3500 miles and days where it would not get to my neighbors house! Add that into the equation. Just keep in mind TV stations ( analog/digital) transmit Kilowatts to just get 75 mile coverage.
Now, what about a long element yagi? Good, but not dependable. Stick with a Land Line. RF is the most unpredictable form of AC current there is in the world. You never know what it is going to do. The atmosphere predicts it's fate.
