Thought I better put signal levels on there for you too.

This was a number of years ago I did This, and in another country so I am =
a bit rusty on figures : )=20

The Receiver put out about 70-80 dBuV (direct reading from a TV field =
strength meter), This went into a 2 way splitter, one leg was fed into a =
24dB masthead amp - I tried two of these in series but it turned the =
signal to crap, I assume due to clipping or instabilities in the arrangemen=
t. I ended up with about 100 dBuV going into the transmitting aerial. The =
aerial gain would be added to that - a 1/4 wave whip would give about 103 =
- 110 dBuV radiated.=20

If you know someone that installs cable/aerials/dishes they may have an =
FSM that does VHF/UHF/SAT that you could borrow.

I have done something like this with the signal from a DSS receiver.

Took a masthead amp and fed the signal up to the persons roof to a =
directional aerial, at the receiving end placed a 91 element UHF tv aerial =
with masthead amp. I was able to get reliable (and relatively clear) =
pictures at a distance of 100 - 150 yards=20
