Guess that's how you define "ordinary".  But an amped omni on a tower they
could see with them using unamp'd high gain antennas pointing at you would
work just fine.  The catch would be your terrain & vegetation.  The do
have to have line-of-sight to you.  I currently use this very
configuration to provide connectivity over 5 miles (8 km) with _very_ high
signal strength (in fact, I can use my laptop 3 miles away w/ a 3dbi 2in
square unamp'd extender antenna and still run 11Mbs).
