I now have the recommended 2 antennas, preamp and 10' mast installed on top of our 2-story home at about 35' high. I do not have good reception of some of the closest stations from Louisville KY on all TV's (mainly my 50" Sony HD Digital LCD Projection TV (KDF-E50A10) in the living room).
Here is my original information:

I have the AntennaCraft U8000 pointed at 350 degrees on a magnetic compass.
I have the Wingard YA 1713 antenna pointed South toward the Louisville stations.
The Antenna Direct CPA-19 preamplifier is connected to both antennas.
Main problems:
No reception on main 50" living room TV of following stations:
3-1 WAVE NBC
3-2
3-3
30-1 WTIU PBS
30-2
30-3
30-4
32-1 WLKY CBS
I do get the following stations:
4-1 WTTY CW
4-2 WTTY THIS
11-1 WHAS ABC
11-2 WHAS WEATHER
11-3 WHAS WAZOO
21-1 WBNA ION
21-2 WBNA QUBO
21-3 WBNA LIGHT
21-4 WBNA RTV
32-1 WLKY CBS
32-2 WLKY
41-1 WDRB FOX
41-2 WDRB
42.1-WCLJ IND
42-2 WCLJ TCC
42-3 WCLJ JCTV
42-4 WCLJ ENLACE
42-5 WCLJ SOAC
58-1 WMYO MYN
58-1 WMYO
63-1 WIPX ION
63-2 WIPX QUBO
63-3 WIPX ION LIFE
I tried using a Zenith Digital Tuner (model DTT901) on the 50 TV but it did not help reception.
The same digital tuner on a small non-digital TV gets most all of the stations with little difficulty in the kitchen.
My motorhome setting beside my house with a crank up (older style) antenna gets most all of the Southern stations (Louisville) (it does not pick-up WHAS) very well and that antenna is only 15' in the air compared to 35' for the antenna on our home.?.
Any suggestions will be appreciated as we are at a loss at this point.
Thank you
Dennis
