Rain Fade.

It's an interesting experiment but I doubt this would be reliable at all.
Would the same thing happen to WiMax?

 It happens to any microwave system...even those on relatively "low" frequencies in the 900 MHz region. The radio signal literally bounces off of water droplets and that scatter increases the attenuation along the path just like shining a spotlight through fog lights up the fog and not so much the target.

A 382 kilometer long path in one hop is just asking for it.
