Please re-run your TV Fool report using this method, http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=14508 I'm sure you're going to be dealing with some very weak signals, so let's be sure that your reception report is as accurate as possible.

My first impression is that you'll need to go with nothing smaller than an Antennas Direct DB8E or 91XG. If the H-VHF signals on real channels 9, 11 & 13 interest you, an Antennacraft Y10713 will be needed as well.

Reception depends on choosing the right antenna and placing it where it can receive an adequate quality signal. If the antenna is not receiving a clean signal, an amplifier is not going to fix the problem. Amplifiers are only able to overcome loss in cable and splitters connected to the output of the amp. Having said that, you'll need to use an amplifier that is able to handle the stronger local signals with out overloading. The RCA TVPRAMP1R comes to mind... And it has inputs for two antennas, one UHF and the other VHF.
