I'm assuming that ordering this item on line is probably the only option as there isn't an electronics outlet or home center that would carry these?
Correct, order 2; you might have a problem at the cabin too.

Does the antenna amplifier have a separate port for FM vs. UHF/VHF?
Some preamps have a built in FM filter, but they aren't always sufficient.

I have a hard time with a significant signal at different times during the day.
What are the callsigns of 35 an 21 at the cabin, K35KH and K21HX? They seem quite strong.

I am using a homemade antenna as described
I don't see the description of the antenna.

If there are trees in the path from 73 degrees magnetic, that might be the problem.

Your reports for the cabin are only resolved to block level instead of based on coordinates; they might not be too accurate.
