A few years back I was running an external wifi beam antenna to
connect to a local SFLan[1] node.  I don't use it much any more
because my wife started calling me at the office for tech support when
the conditions were such that we weren't able to get to the node.
However, if the OP's friend is close to an SFLan node that might be
another viable option.
