Default Passive Repeater

Ok, my first test failed so far. Example of what I am doing is here
http://home.triad.rr.com/tempdir/images/layout.jpg. My next thing I am
thinking about trying is to place some kind of somewhat small (no billboard)
passive repeater at the end of the powerline attached to a utility pole
where it meets the field. No power this far out and trenching is not an
option. I can google and find hords of info about people using passive
repeaters to bend the signal but I cannot find an actual passive repeater or
how to build one. Also when dealing with this type of repeater would it
force me to have directional antenna's at both ends where currently I have
only the one directional parabolic grid at the top of the powerline and just
a standard AP inside the building. Anyone think of anything else that may
work. going over the forest is also not an option. I own the land where
the grid antenna is located but I dont own the land where the building is
located as I just have permission to place a AP at that site. I am trying
to make the impact as minimal as possible at that site.
