PLEASE HELP!! With Selection of PreAmp - TV Signal Booster - Is CM7777 a good choice?

Dear all,

I am a newbie to the OTA world.
I have a ClearStream 2 50 mile antenna... details below:
Antenna Specs

The antenna is installed on a mast left behind by Dish Network which is about 5.5 to 6.0 ft from the ground.

Below are the results from TV fool as well:

I get channels like GPB Knowledge or GPB Kids which keep cutting in and out.

Based on some reading I was hoping to place a signal preamplifier right close to the antenna mounted outside and hope that these other stations will begin to be received.

I added the GE signal amplifier inside in my distribution box and it seemed to help a little, not a whole lot... I started getting the channels listed above... earlier I was not getting these at all.

Thanks all in advance for your help.
Will the CM7777 be a good addition in my case?
If not, what pre-amplifier will be best suited for me.
The GE manual says its boosting signal strength by 4DB or so.

Thanks again for the help and suggestions.
