That will make your signals weaker.

I want to put a "reasonably" priced amp on the mast.
I am hoping to stay in the $40 range.
Having had great luck with Winegard in my RV I was going to get a LNA-200 ... then I read the horrible reviews.
I can get the RCA TVPRAMP Z1

The LNA-200 isn't that bad. The two RCA TVPRAMP1 preamps that I bought new in sealed boxes were defective; poor quality control.
That looks interesting, but I have no experience with it.
That is the CX777 sold by
electorica on eBay. They have changed the model number in the description to make it similar to the Channel Master CM-7778, which it isn't.
Specifications:
Power Source 100-240 V
Power Output: 12 V
Noise Figure ≤ 1.5 dB
Gain: 32 dB (says 30 dB in the image)
Bandwidth: 47-862 MHz
I doubt that the Noise Figure is as low as 1.5 dB. A Gain of 32 dB is too much; very easily overload as Channel Master found out to their dismay with their redesign of the CM-7777 with a single antenna input and a gain of 30 dB.

There are some "fringe" stations from Montreal I would love to get but according to the map / chart / report ... it will be unlikely.
I am really in a hole with mountains all around.

Montreal doesn't sound likely.
