Do not screw around with rediculous ideas such as fiber optics
(since copper wire is more than sufficient for those who needs much
higher reliability such as your telco).

With all due respect, fiber is both a practical and superior
alternative. It's only current (pun intended) is higher cost.

Two types of antennas are yagi or helical. Yagi are most often
available. To eliminate ghosting, helical would be a good choice.

My own recommendation would be dish -- cheaper and easier to work with.

Otherwise install a copper connection between both buildings. Other
facts (that every telco uses) makes the copper solution perfectly
acceptable.

Every telco has and is switching to fiber more and more.
