It clearly can go thru buildings, otherwise you
wouldnt be able to use a cellphone inside a building.

I was talking about a single base which is the one I use when inside my house.

That base is already at the highest elevation possible, on the top of the hill
thats on the north side of the town. Because my house is at the bottom of
the hill on the flat, there is no direct line of sight between the base and my
house, the top edge of the hill gets in the way of that direct line of sight
and you cant see the base from my house, even if you use a telescope
etc, because its back past the top of the hill that you can see from the house.

NOT RELEVANT TO THE FACT THAT IT AINT LINE OF SIGHT.
