I will make sure I use a pre-amp and a custom high pass attenuator.

Please don't call it an attenuator; that is a different device. It will attenuate channel 8 making it weaker, but you must call it a high pass filter when you talk to a Tin Lee Electronics filter engineer and send him your tvfool report by email.

The filter will probably cost more than $100, so you want to get it right. We don't see any other alternative to the custom filter, unless you are willing to settle for fewer channels.
It is important to ground the coax with a grounding block to reject your strong local interference, otherwise it will get directly into the TV cabinet.
If the antenna is outside, the coax shield should be grounded with a grounding block that is connected to the house electrical system ground with 10 gauge copper wire for electrical safety and to reject interference. For further compliance with the electrical code (NEC), the mast should also be grounded in a similar manner to drain any buildup of static charge, but the system will not survive a direct strike.
