No amp needed. You have enough natural non-amplified signal to drive several hundred feet of coax plus a splitter.

Pick the weakest desired signal. Add the real gain of the antenna on that channel to the calculated noise margin (NM) from your TVFool plot, then subtract downstream insertion losses. If the sum of all that is still greater than zero, it should work. In reality, leave a 5-10 dB fade margin as a surplus.
