Absolutely not. The CM7777 will overload from the strong signals. You have four transmitters within 5 miles of you, assuming all of WGAL's are on the air.

No amp. Try it that way.

You'll also likely find the rotor won't last long with that big of an antenna on it.

You'll need to identify stations by their call letters which are unambiguous.
