Like focusing a telescope you could maximize the efficiency of it. 50' would be within the limits of it's reach

No, look, you're just throwing these words out and not understanding what they mean.
Think about the basic physics. You can't create energy from nothing. All a horn or waveguide will do is focus. Producing a coherent wave; but it will still have a defined range. It won't become more powerful, just focus the same power into a smaller endpoint. Instead of firing in many directions, it sends the same signal strength in one, so yes,m the total power APPEARS to be a much higher gain but you're NOT increasing the range at all.
Fuck, just start thinking before you post, alright?
Also: I said I wasn't going to bother, I didn't say I couldn't handle it.
