I still don't really see a need for an amplifier unless you are specifically trying to get Detroit stations.

One of the main reasons for chimney mounting IS to get Detroit stations, I ordered the C2 VHF kit & CPA-19 Preamp with the intent of running a separate coax for, I suppose if worst comes to worst I could run the power cable though the window edge with a flat cable to avoid boring another hole in the brick wall but I'll see what the installer suggests.
I hope that modest VHF performance is worth the 30 bucks, I thought the same money could have just about covered the cost of a decent separate VHF antenna but I didn't want to complicate matters with yet another separate cable run into my Apt + since I've installed the FM trap 11 & 13 (though not 100%) have been pretty stable even in the present position here as the UHF ones have been really problematic, even 30 which there absolutely is no excuse for.
