With any 2-edge signal, it can be dicey, but it is still very possible even for NM = -5 to -10 dB, especially if you can find a hotspot where the diffraction patterns combine constructively. Hotspots can be only a few feet in X, Y, and Z, so it can take some effort to find them. They can also be frequency dependent, but hopefully you can find one spot that works for all channels of interest. The propagation model does not handle non-radial diffraction.
