at least 12 hours, but will fix itself eventually.
Sounds like there are trees in the line of sight, and maybe they are
getting
leafier over the years. The only solution to that is to change the path
if
it is possible.

The line of sight is all clear, no trees. Only one building along the way
has a rooftop of similar height, but the antennas are extended far above the
roofline. We have used a rifle scope to confirm line of sight is all clear
at all angles.


Given that you have optical line of sight, and that your path length is only 800m, have you considered line-of-sight optical links for this application?
