The Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp should also work in NJ if the HD 7084P was directed at NYC, and not risk flooding the signal for Philly, correct? [Could always turn it off for Philly stations, I guess.]

The 7084 can be a challenge to refold... but if you have a way to transport it, it will be a good test antenna in VA.
The problem with virtually all preamps is they don't pass any signal with the power disconnected. You could inquire at www.tinlee.com regarding a pair of coaxial relays that would switch the amplifier in or out of the circuit on demand. http://www.jfwindustries.com/product...es-364-75.html is another possible source.
