You need to either transmit at the same frequency alternating or 
transmit at different frequencies, but dual frequency such that you can 
compensate for any dispersion in order to aviod first grade dispersion 
errors.

Also, care must be taken in calibrating the stations own contributions 
to asymmetry. A de-tuned LC tank in the receiver path for one receiver 
for instance shifts the delay asymmetrically.

But done with some care you should be able to get fairly good results if 
you pick suitable frequencies, have line-of-sight and similar "good" 
conditions.

Cheers,
Magnus
