Hi Debbi,

23 GHz is very high, and would not be used for WiMax to consumers
_inside_ the home. Those frequencies are only used for point to point
between towers, and direct line of sight from satellite dishes up to
satellites.
Tall hilltops are frequently populated with little round microwave
dishes pointed at the next hilltop miles away.
The Upload frequency for Wildblue internet is 29.5 - 30.0 GHz for
example, and Downlink is 19.7 - 20.2 GHz. Those dishes are all too
common in rural areas with no DSL or fiber options for consumers.

1200 ft sounds too close to shield sufficiently. It depends on how
sensitive you are though.
