This guy was connected at 1.2 miles with just a cantenna on one end (though I am quite certain I am not telling you anything you don't know already)
Super Cantenna Review -- Extend Your Wi-Fi Network Range (pics)
I'd guess I was pointing down about 1.3 degrees. I basically aimed it by getting an assistant to stand in my victims yard with my iphone and WiFi Fo Fum while I peaked the dish for highest strength. I could only get it down to about -91 db, but was able to connect the iphone to the tower. unfortunately the AP didn't show the remote A/P in the site survey; but I could see (-99db) my own access point while placed in their yard. That neighbor was not willing to add any gear to their setup (regardless of compensation).
