I don't think that's the way you want to go at this. While we don't know what type of antenna you now have it's a safe bet that it's at least a vhf low band model since you pick up CBS ch. 5.1 already.

Save the money on the new preamp and instead spend it on either a db-8 antenna or the lower cost db-4 antenna and combine it with your current tv antenna.

The db antennas will pick up the UHF stations in your area and might also pick up the VHF high band channel too, providing of course that you don't have a bad connection in the system.

Any chance you could post picture of your antenna? That would help a lot.
