New antenna setup advice

Hello all,
I am looking for advice on a antenna setup. I just moved to the Harrington Maine area ( 04643 ). I ran the tv fool signal and interactive map analysis for my area and purchased some equipment. I would like your opinion and advice.
This is what I have purchased so far:
Antenna

Booster

Antenna Pole
https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Maste...s=antenna+pole
Coaxial Cable
https://www.amazon.com/125ftMADE-Und...al+cable&psc=1

The run will be a little over 115ft. I will be mounting this about 40 feet high in a tree. I will be cutting the top off the tree and timing the branches. ( And will trim branches yearly if needed to prevent overgrowth and antenna interference)
The questions I have is:
1.) Do you think its worth it to do this setup?
2.) Looking at signals available in my area, do you think the equipment and height of 40ft be sufficient in getting stations 40-60 miles away?
3.) What do you recommend for equipment to mount the pole to the tree? Bolts, screws, ubolts etc... Also I know this pole extends very far but I will only be extending it the most 10 feet to avoid having to run wires to the top of it for stability.

Also here is the TV Fool signal report for reference:

Thank you in advance for any assistance and advice,
Gordon
