Old thread, but someday someone might find it useful:
I had two buildings connected with 60Ghz Wireless Wire Dishes. Distance about 650m. Everything working perfectly, even in rain and snow.
At some moment, a high building "appeared" in the middle of that path. First signal started fading, then disappeared completely. Only when I got to the roof I saw the new building.
While on roof, I looked around and saw a flat wall, without windows or anything, of a mall, so I directed both WWDs at approximately same angle to that wall (I was lucky it is close to the LoS, so both locations see it at an angle of about 45 degrees). Checked with Google Maps to find the best spot to aim antennae to, and now I have my 1Gbps link up again. Distance is now reported as 750m. Link goes down in very heavy rain, but that never lasts more than a few minutes here and doesn't happen more that once or twice in a year.
