The preamp I was planning on upgrading to is the Winegard AP8275. (I am aware that a preamp will only amplify weak singnals and not make the antenna more powerful or anyhting like that.)

A preamplifier will amplify both the weak and the strong signals. The strong local signals are going to overload the AP-8275. I would not use the RCA TVPRAMP1R or the AP-8275. The only Winegard preamp I would consider using would be the HDP-269. But the HD8200 already has 10 to 14 dB of gain across the H-VHF and UHF bands. With it aimed right at WKTV, real CH-29 you can expect overpowering signal levels at the input of most preamps.
Back to the basics... What signals are received by each antenna when only a known good coax is run from the antenna to a single TV? (No preamp, splitter or any other accessory.)
Given that you own two antennas, have you considered this option,
