Agreed, NY is an extreme DX hobby project.

My personal preference would be to hold off adding an amplifier until it's proven necessary. For example, if after inserting a passive 4-way split everything works fine you're done. But if some signals are unreliable, a CM3410 could be inserted ahead of the split.
