IMHO boosters generally do little good

If you start out with a poor signal to noise ratio (SNR) & then amplify ("boost") the whole lot you still end up with a poor SNR.

If you have some more info I will try & remember the RF course I did at college

EDIT~ just noticed that this is an FM setup.

If you know the direction of the transmiter then what you need is a high gain directional antena with a low noise feed into a system that has a relatively low noise pre-amp.
