Is 2.4ghz gear typically used for this? I live in NJ, but have clear line of sight to midtown (I can see from ~30th to 86th st out of my window, I can easily pick up most of the city on 2m and 70cm bands with my yagi ( http://paste.click/tnHdWr
), even crappy handheld radios). However it's around 7-8 miles so even with a highly directional antenna, standard 2.4ghz gear would probably be a stretch. Does anyone run 800mhz gear? I feel like that would be a lot more useful as the effective range is a LOT further and it can actually go through walls to an extent.

Check out the Ubiquiti Wifi antennas [1] for 25km+ connections using 2.4 and 5 Ghz. However, it is recommended to use the 5Ghz, especially if you have line of sight. What you need to find is someone on the other end who can put up an antenna as well and you can have a ~50MBit (depends on a lot of factors, this is an average based on experience if Barcelona and Guifi.net) connection for around $150.
