About the pending broadcast tower. I would try to find out what pending actually means in this case. Is it a for sure situation or does it just mean they have applied for and have plans for a tower sometime in the future, maybe years from now if ever.
The only difference in cost would be whether or not you have the preamp, $30 and up depending on what you get. The rest of the set up is the same.

Ah OK and thanks.
