You may be surprised at how much signal you have before trying the booster. Especially if you are closer than 40 miles to Milwaukee. We're 55 mile west of Philadelphia and a 2-way splitter (-3.5dbB) barely affects things. An amp, especially too close to the antenna will overload on a few locals, creating image frequencies.

Depending on where you live, that antenna may or may not work well for you. I bought and put one of those Antennacraft omnis up on our roof, and it didn't work for crap for me. I ended up taking it down and replacing it with a small older TV antenna. It works a LOT better. The TV antenna probably picks up 10x more channels.
