Signal levels are strong enough to argue vigorously against the use of the Radio Shack amplifier.

Do you have access to a non-amplified indoor antenna to use for a test? A simple set of rabbit-ears with UHF loop should provide good to excellent reception, including K24IC, real CH-24, a translator for KBTC, a PBS affiliate based in Tacoma, WA.

The concrete condo structure may be significant. Concrete and steel can make an effective RF shield.
