KCBS @ 25' AGL is just enough... I'd try
I posted a simple calculator tool at http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=109. Using a conservative gain value of 13 dBd for the 91XG and the noise and gain values of an Antennas Direct CPA-19, I get a net NM that is +1 dB.

I would love to see that number higher, but still, I would try for it.
