You have some strong local signals so you'll want a preamp that can tolerate high input levels. The Winegard HDP-269 and Antennacraft 10G201 & 10G221 come to mind.
FWIW: Historically, I don't recommend the HD-Stacker, not because it's good bad or indifferent... But because it's an unknown quantity. Denny only offers anecdotal comparisons to generally dissimilar antennas. I prefer to recommend antennas that have published performance specifications. Having said that, my guess is that the 'Stacker' performs somewhat like a Winegard HD7694P. If I was trying for the distant group of signal to the east, I would go big... A Winegard HD7698P or large separate UHF and H-VHF antennas. I would also be considering a tower that would get me above all obstructions in the neighborhood.

Thanks for the advice and thanks for not completely dismissing my antenna choice. I was a little worried about those trees but at much as I would love to have the KC stations, they are not so important to me as to spend a bunch of extra money on a tower and rewiring my home with an electrician. If I can't make it work with my existing wiring for the KC channels then I can live with only getting the Topeka stations.
I'll take a closer look at your pre amp suggestions. Thanks
