Speaking of 97W (G25)

I did a Power Scan on this sat and got all that cool stuff last night and today. Then I tried to set up SBS 6 but just couldn't get it and have never been able to get it.

Anyway, after that I could no longer get anything from G25. My signal levels were coming in at 25% to 45%. I got up on the ladder and checked east-west / north-south and the dish was perfectly centered on the signal. Specifically checking Russia Today.
Details:
Russia Today
TP: 11815
Pol: H
SR: 21984
VPID: 7001
Signal Strength: 35% no lock

Also looked at UA TV (can't view but can see sig level)
TP: 11722
Pol: H
SR: 21984
VPID: 4024
Signal Strength: 85%
What I really missed today were the tons of music channels I was able to get yesterday.

So, is this a common thing?
It was a bit cloudy but very thin clouds here in the Tucson, AZ area.

Could it be that when I scanned it in yesterday it was just over the lock threshold and today no joy?

Would an in-line amp help in a situation like this?

Thanks.
