I am only three quarters of a mile from the Oakeley Mynd transmitter. I have direct line-of-sight between my aerial and the transmitter. My aerial is outdoors. I use a signal booster. Yet every time the site advises of "Reduced quality" I get no signal at all.

Chris Vowles: I have line of sight too, Chris, but am 6 miles away, so have no chance then!
No worthwhile signal and I use a super hi-gain aerial.

Chris Vowles:
At only 3/4 mile from the transmitting aerial you should not need a booster at all. It could be that your signal is too strong rather than too weak. When the problem occurs, try removing the booster and coupling the two coaxial plugs together with a proper coax coupler, making sure that it is the amplifier you are temorarily taking out of circuit and not just a power unit feeding to a masthead amplifier.
Then let us know what the result is, please?
