Thanks.
At 50' you improve Detroit signal access enough that stable reception could be achieved. That said, it is imperative that no tree obstructions are in the path of magnetic 240.
You are right that DB8e was a good choice. I would recommend that antenna in this application. I would also add a Antennacraft Y10713 VHF antenna. The VHF antenna would be for Detroit's FOX affiliate on channel 7.
I'd be reluctant to run a preamp with the presence of CIII and it's plentiful signal. Instead I'd opt for an Antennas Direct signal combiner as found here:

That product allows separate UHF and VHF antennas to be consolidated into one coaxial lead coming into your home.
For the best chance of success mounting the DB8e and Y10713 50' above ground both orientated to magnetic 240 would give you the best chance at reliable reception.
Rohn makes some quality collapsible masts.
