You have one of the best OTA receiving opportunities in the entire world.
You do not need a preamplifier. A preamplifier will be overloaded by the strong TV and FM signals present at your location. Unless you 'need' access to real CH-6 (which may or may not be on the air) you don't need an all channel antenna. A roof mounted Winegard HD7694P aimed at Mt. Wilson will easily drive a passive 8-way split. If I'm wrong, and there are unexpected losses, an amplifier can be added later. If anything, you need to be ready to install an inexpensive FM trap.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
