60dB+ isn't unheard of for hilltop-to-hilltop microwave links though,
is it? And one might obtain 50dB with regular TV antennas if they have
a good line-of-sight to the transmitter and there aren't significant
reflections, right?

It doesn't solve the problem.

I thought Richard's main problem was that 60dB is (relatively) unheard of in
wireless systems. I agree with you 100% that not enough information was given
to determine the absolute signal or noise levels.
