Joseph, the only way I've been able to be truly successful with this in the past is by selecting different channels for alternating links. It required additional "nodes" but works fantastic and doesn't have a speed reduction due to distance.
Node1......(ch a)............Node2--hardwire--Node3..........(ch b)..........Node4--hardwire--Node5................(ch c)...........Node6
Once the distance is far enough you can start repeating channels. Also, you maximize your end to end throughput if your adjacent nodes use non-adjacent channels. I've had great success hopping buildings in urban environments with this method. This could also be done with two radios in a single node, I suppose, but how you do it depends on what your hardware is.
Good luck,
