To see Fort Wayne reliably you'll need a 80 to 100' tower and a big UHF antenna such as the Antennas Direct XG91.

The AP8275 is easy to overload, it's only spec'd to handle 30,000 micro-volts of combined UHF input with the modest gain of the ANT-751 you're close to the overload point depending on which direction the antenna is pointed. I wonder how you would do if you completely removed the preamp and power supply... You may actually see more, not less.
