Buy a directional antenna
Find the highest point you can possibly get to
Install antenna up there
Or
Install the tallest flagpole you can in your area
Make sure you have damn near perfect line-of-sight to your other node
When you start to desire these types of distances, all you need is *extreme* height and a 100% signal focused to a direct line-of-sight connection. This is where it gets hard.

These tall flag poles are hella expensive too. Like $15k+ easy
How would I know I have line of site 50 miles?
The higher you go, the higher your probability is of getting better line-of-sight
But again, now you get into your own height limitations, terrain, let alone what physical height limits you have for your jurisdiction. Most places you can't build anything higher than the local water tower, or flying zone limits, etc.
