Yes it sounds perfectly good. Make sure you connect attenuators as
close to the BTS and MS as possible to avoid as much leak as possible.
You should target something like - 60 dBm at the RX. So something like
90 dB attenuation or so. Make sure to use semi rigid cable because at
that level of attenuation the cable leaks are non negligible :)
