I'll join the Winegard HD7084P camp. An Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamplifier is going to tolerate the mix of strong and weak signals better than most other amplifiers.

The extra coiled coax does not help but in reality, 2 or 3 dB of loss is not going to be a 'make it or break it' issue. Be sure the coax connectors are installed correctly, physically and electrically secure. Use coax seal on all outdoor connections, once water gets in to the coax... it's done.
