The mclapp design is one of the better DIY options. I would consider it a good general purpose antenna. For your specific application (gooing after WFSB), I would lean toward a channel cut design, optimized for peak F/B ratio.

If you are trying to avoid a store bought solution, consier building a pair of identical Yagi antenans cut for real CH-33. I just uploaded a design for one... http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=1106

A stagger stacked pair may achive the needed forward gain together with sufficient F/B ratio.
