The Terk is really a channel 7-69 antenna. WOUA is on channel 6. It might work, but why take a chance?
The specs for the HDTVo claim that it's a 2-69 antenna, but there are no elements long enough to be effective below channel 7. Next it claims that the VHF gain is 12 db, but that cannot be antenna gain, so interpret that to mean preamp gain. The actual antenna gain on channels 2-6 is probably somewhat negative. Negative gain usually means poor antenna directivity and cannot be improved by a preamplifer.
