I have one of these gizmos from Maplin that allows you to turn on a 13A
socket using a remote control box. It works quite well but the range is
optimistic at 25 yards :-)


Just wondered if there is some simple tweak I can do to up the xmitter
power just a teensie-weensie amount to get a little extra range?


Some form of reflector to make the aerial directional.

That is quite sensible as to mess around with the aerial it already has
may well de-tune it all and make it less "good" that what it was...
