My 2 cents: I see no real shot at reliable reception of WPVI since the real-world low-VHF noise floor is usually anywhere from 5-20 dB higher than the assumptions built into the simulator.

However, if you're going to try for it you will need something really big with wide elements at the rear. FM radio interference is likely to be an issue also, as WPVI is immediately adjacent to the bottom of the FM band and your pre-amp's FM filter is going to be ineffective at mitigating its effects due to the combination of its rejection band and your local FM frequencies in use.
