The strongest Tv station with antenna at 25 feet at your location is CICI-TV 3 at 35.3 NM(dB) , 35.5 is in the middle range of signal strength. Over loaded amplifiers begin to happen when the signal strength is in the 60's and higher. WWUP-TV 10 is very weak at -5.5 NM(dB) and WGTQ-DT 8 is extremely weak at -24.7 NM(dB). All amplifiers generate noise , the antennacraft amplifier will have 3.5 dB noise and the kitztech is 1 dB or less. Low noise is important when dealing with weak signals. Noise is interference and interference reduces the reception of a clean signal. I am doing my best to provide information that is correct , there are other ways to get the Tv stations like using a two antenna system , one pointed at the Canada stations and one pointed at the USA stations. It is extremely likely that when when the Canada transmitters are upgraded to digital that the upgrade will be to the UHF channels. The VHF low band channels of 2 thru 6 are not good for transmission and reception of digital tv signals. The point here is that , get one antenna to cover all the posibiltys.
