Well, I got the antenna up last night. It's not all the way up, it's about halfway up the tower. I'm a little squeamish about heights, and it's temporary. Amazon screwed up delivery on my order of a juice preamp and rg6 compression fittings, so I'm delayed anyway.
At "half-mast", when plugged into a single device using the shorted possible coax, it is almost as powerful as my current antenna, which is preamplified, distribution amplified, and connected to every TV in the house. I think when I get this antenna up to it's final mounting spot, and get it preamped, it should do pretty good.
To see if I really needed an amp, I connected it to the distribution cabling, instead of the single tuner. Signal quality dropped to unusable. I then added back in the distribution amp, and then signal throughout the house was comparable to the unampliefied signal on a single tv.
I don't have any further questions or need anything else, I just like to provide followup when I have been helped. I'll update again as this project nears completion. Thanks everyone, you have been so helpful.
