Mortech, No harm in trying a preamp with the Phillips antenna but a preamp can't amplify a signal it doesn't have. Considering what you're trying to achieve, having a larger antenna with more gain gathering all the signal it can and then if necessary, amplify that signal, makes more sense than trying to boost a weaker signal.
