Mikrotik Wireless long distance

304km Wifi record with MikroTik
i found this news from mikrotik forum, here the news.
On 16-06-2007, we (CISAR, a radioHAM italian association) have realized a 304km link (about 100km ground and 200km sea surface), between Amiata mount (1734asl) and Limbara mount (1300 ca asl).
We utilized a pair of wrap board (but they will be replaced by a new RB532 soon), a pair of Ubiquiti XR5, and a pair of handmade antenna (120cm satellite dish for the surface, and a bronze ball-bearing extracted from a bus).
The signal received on both end was from -58dBm to -62dBm, bitrate between 12 and 48Mbps, CCQ between 70 and 100.

On the moment i'm writing, this seems to be a distance world record (the precedent was from "Politecnico di Torino" on Italy, 295km).
