Who has a signal booster at camp? How far can a booster reach? Do you have to have a signal to boost?
What brand of booster do you use?

My parents have one at their geese camp. Normally you have to stand at the river bank to get enough signal to make calls but with the booster
they can watch movies on Netflix in the cabin which is back in the willows a ways Pretty good but I’m always in the goose blind so I don’t make use of it

My camp is in a valley. I get signal from the mountain facing the delta. I need a booster up there that can beam signal down to my camp. or a cable about 1.5 km long. Then I can watch movies about Ryan sitting in a goose blind.

I just started looking into one for our camp. I had to dial a certain number on my IPhone and see what my cell phone signal strength was in decibels. My signal strength was very low from -107 to -130 decibels. That’s what information you need to decide on the type of signal booster to get was what I was told.
A good signal strength is -50 to -80 decibels I believe.


The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price

I've owned a couple different Wilson boosters that I've used at home and my truck over the last 12-15 years.
And if/when I need to replace my current one I'll buy Wilson again.
Their customer service is great.
I have a bar of service in my driveway, I don't remember how many decibels it was because I haven't had a need to measure it for a few years.
In the house I get one bar or none without a booster.
They are not cheap though, if I remember correctly I have over $500 maybe $600 in my house system.
