I'm agreeing that adding KCWX to the line up is desirable.

The key will be how high can the antenna be mounted. A noise margin of 8.9 dB is and antenna gain of 7.4 dB is not enough to overcome the low-VHF noise and typical distribution losses.

A pair of HLSJ's can be used as a preselection filter on the input of the preamp. One HLSJ between the antenna and preamp and the second down stream of the preamp... just after the power inserter for the preamp.
