ABC is Ch 6 which is VHF-Lo. It's a great little antenna for many, but the ANT-751 isn't optimized for the VHF-Lo. That doesn't mean it can't pick it up. A similar antenna that had an extra wide element for the VHF-Lo was the HD7000R, which is out of production now I think. But before you go changing, try the 751 where you plan to mount it. That Ch 6 signal is strong, which could be all the difference in offsetting the inefficiency of the 751 to receive it. A pre-amp would not be a solution here. That'd be like turning up the water flow and expecting the water quality to improve, when what you need to do is work on the water source instead.
