If they already have a microwave link to the antenna site, it shouldn't be that hard to repeat that signal to another site. They could put a microwave repeater at the antenna site and move the receiver that is now there to the third site.
Thanks loads to everyone who's offered advice regarding this matter so far.
I have now started exploring the feasibility and cost of VHF and microwave solutions to this situation as well. It appears that anything that we do will involve hardware costs, but if we can do it this way then the phone company won't be collecting a monthly fee forevermore, and that's got to add up to a saving down the line.
Especially if they would charge you by the minute for a dialup link. Even a penny or two a minute adds up in a month. ($4320 a month at 0.01 per minute)
I definitely know more about this stuff now and have more options to look at than I did a couple of days ago, thanks largely to the help of everyone here on this mailing list.
