Will I get any kind of OTA reception with my antennas?

Hello everyone, I'm sorry for what might be a remedial post. I currently enjoy very decent OTA VHF/UHF reception where I live. We are thinking of moving to a new neighborhood, and I ran a TVFool report to see how the signal strength would change. Report is pasted below.

I use a DB8e for UHF, about 3 feet below it is a Y10713 for VHF, and both antennas run into a RCA PREAMPR1 for amplification before going into a splitter to run into two different TVs. The home we are thinking of buying is a single story, so I ran the report for 25' AGL in the potentially new neighborhood. In order to get the major networks (KPIX, KGO, KNTV, KTVU, KQED) it looks like I would need to set up at 151* magnetic (my antenna mast doesn't rotate) and some of the signal strength begins at -17 NM.

So... based on my TVFool report, will I get any kind of decent reception at the new place? I have no idea what gain the antennas will provide.. is it even worth it?

Thanks...
