Default Antenna & Signal Issues

Tigerbands,
The signal strength as displayed on my Sony SXRD Antenna Diagnostics screen constantly ranges from a locked 81 to unlocked 41 this is the situation on the four major networks, the numbers listed above are NBC local channel 3.1.
I have two CM 4228 installed vertically, combined by 300 ohm to a Terrestrial Digital Pre-Amp PA-16 and RG 6 to the set. These antennas are installed 25 feet above the ground. (I have 100 feet of tower to erect to whatever height is required & a HyGain Ham IV controller and rotor to install on the tower.)
I live in a hollow in St. Albans, WV 25177, GPS N38.20.434 / W81.52.807. The view to the north & south are obstructed by mountains. The feet above MSL 707.
If you believe these antennas are adequate, what pre-amp would you suggest to combine these antennas at the mast and any other suggestions you might have. My interest is in a digital signal only.

Thank you in advance,
Charlie
