First, the CS-4 is a very good UHF only antenna. If you had only UHF signals to deal with, it would be a fair to good choice. I say, 'fair to good', because you have several VHF signals available and, the signals to the NW are not very strong. The HD7698P gives you UHF and High-VHF ability and the gain needed for weak signal reception. If you Google "HD7698P", quite a few retail options come up, including Winegard Direct. Prices can change day to day.
If the antenna will feed only one TV and the total cable run is no more than 50', you may be able to forgo the preamp. But if you have two or more TV's or a longer run of cable, you're starting with modest amounts of signal power that may not be adequate to overcome the losses through cables and a splitter.
