I've been out in the woods enough to also be pessimistic...
I visited a local customer a few years ago. Except for trees, there would lave been several of the local towers visible to the naked eye, all within 5 miles. It was mid-May and every silver maple tree in the neighborhood was fully leafed out. It was a windy day and those thing made the spectrum analyzer display look like someone has a 40-60 dB variable attenuator hooked up and had given it to a kid to play with. Reliable reception was pretty much impossible.
