Though the DB8E is not a Double Bay Gray-Hoverman, it has very comparable performance. If you have a GH that's in good shape, use it to see what you can pick up.

I'd try testing with no preamp, just a 50' or less cable and a good tuner. Reliable receptin starts with the antenna and it's location/aim. The preamp will not improve the performance of any antenna. Use the preamp to overcome the loss in cable and splitters.
