No! You will need a real antenna, not amplifier(?) like that. One of the 
best and easily available antennas in EU are Televes DAT75 and few Triax 
models. Compare DAT75 and your antenna, DAT75 is 19dB and your is 30dB, 
guess which one is still 1000x better.

You will not likely need that heavy antenna like DAT75 as you still have 
a signal. Some 10-20 euros 1m long Yagi is enough.

Antti
