The reason that your brother's gift worked for PBS station WITF (RF36) is that the PBS affiliate is UHF but did not work for ABC station WHTM (RF10) because the ABC affiliate is Hi-VHF. The fact that the antenna is small indicates that it is probably UHF-only and cannot be expected to receive VHF stations like WHTM.
