The PA-18 amplifier is the way to go. It is low noise, and with the TV fool report for 25/35’ you are not at a risk to overload it.

For real 10/12 (Fox and NBC), you might want to try a dedicated VHF-high antenna such as the Y10-7-13.

A 2 edge path on VHF-low is not going to do you any favors for channel 5.

If it were me, I would see if I could get 10 and 12. Without other channels, trying to get 5 would not have much value to me. If I could get 10 and 12, then I would work to get channel 5. I would be looking for a long boom single channel yagi (that may be something custom made).

Things are better than they look. WBOY has ABC on 12.2. WVFX has CW on 10.2. If you get the two VHF-high channels, you have 2 of the big 3 networks (NBC/ABC), and Fox/CW. On the other hand, WDTV only brings you ABC and weather, so it has less of a return on investment.
