Another thought, you reduce the chance of interference a small amount when you use an antenna that is sensitive only in the frequency range(s) you are trying to receive.
If you already own the RCA preamp, there's no point in spending more money on a CM-7778 or other preamp. The RCA will do quite well and matches up to any non amplified consumer grade TV antenna.

Thanks for the help, no I don't own the RCA amp, it's what you suggested in your first post so I am going to get the CM7778. Do they have them at Wally world? I did want to let you know I pointed the antenna south still at 10' height and no amp and picked up 5.1 and 5.2 in Ames! According to my map that's almost 90 miles! I'm sure our elevation is a big plus.
