How Far can I put Antenna from TV (how much Coax)?

I have a new antenna and due to lots of trees and other obstructions the only clear place to locate my Antenna is on a Detached Garage. This will put the antenna a fair distance away from the television. (approximately 150 ft of coax).
I have a signal Amplifier installed approximately Half the distance on the cable, but seem to not get as many channels as I should. with booster it should range around 50 miles, stations are about 30 miles.
Is there something I should do extra that I do not know of?

Thanks
Brice

Zip code is 67501
Antenna is a:Antennacraft® Colorstar C290 HDTV/VHF/UHF/FM Antenna
Amplifier is a: Winegard ANWI8700
