Here's your tvfool report using your qrz.com address:

The Antennacraft Y5-2-6 would be better than a homemade dipole.

This is the optimum combiner at an attractive price:

The cheaper HLSJ would also do the job.

The 7777 preamp is too much gain for you. Channels 8, 30, and 47 make preamp overload problematic. Watch out for overload from WMHX. You may need an FM trap
