Have you surveyed the site for HF RFI?  One mountain top property I was 
considering had awesome 360d unlimited visibility but had so much power 
supply hash, PIM, intermod, etc. from comm installations that any 
amateur operation would be near impossible.  My spectrum analyzer showed 
huge amounts of general hash RF that could not be high pass band 
filtered out.
