Default Re: Mini FM transmitter as a signal booster.

Can you stick an external directional antenna up somewhere that gets a good signal from your desired station?

In the past some of us used a couple of directional antennas [5-element Yagis] coupled together with a "masthead" type preamplifier in between to shunt Band-II and Band-III broadcast-FM/405-line-TV signals around local obstacles in mid-Wales.

The important thing was that neither of the antennas should be able to see each-other, or the whole thing woukld do the VHF equivalent of the audio-feedback you get when someone turns the volume up too far on a public address system.
