Comment(by arjs):

 > Some other ideas ... interference from military radar, extreme humidity,
 thick grass or vegetation on the ground, solar noise, obstruction in
 fresnel zone of path.

 Humidity - yes that area has high humidity 60-80% RH average. The area
 also had thick vegetation but none in the way of line of sight while we
 were testing.

 The best way to find out interference from military radar would be to
 actually try and find out the presence of a nearby military base ?
