hmmm...sounds like it could be a job for one of these:

(if you can get up over the steel sheating from the far site)
I think when the house renovations are finished, I'll run fresh power

steel. I have a detachable antenna sitting in the window space. Because
of the patio and the slope of the land, there's also a steel roof in the
direct path.
