Thanks for that info. I do already have some signal there. Just trying to iprove it.
It may be a bit less than 150' also.

My question maybe is:

What will reach farther:

a satellite to satellite link, or
a range extender (repeater?) to satellite link, or
a satellite or extender to end user device ???

I am not concerned about data rates much as I am not a heavy user in the outbuilding.

Thanks again

  If some signal is there, then it would a a low signal. Trying to extend or amplify this will not produce better signal. Your just amplifying a low signal at the extender point and at any time that single could be lost or not usable. You'd be amplifying a low signal with no much operation and performance so yes, connection rates between the low signal and the extender would be questionable. Connections to the extender would be good but past the extender to the house would probably not be good.
  
  If you have a clear path from home to barn possible buried cable or hung cable should be reviewed.
  
  You can take a look at this and see if this would work as well:
