I like to build stuff... And it looks like you do as well. But there is a significant difference between a 2X4 and some leftover house wire vs. the materials required to make a much larger antenna that can survive an east coast winter environment.
You're right, the DIY antenna for real CH-6 would be impracticable in the sense that it could only be expected to give you a shot at one channel.
I'd try the Winegard HD7084P or an equivalent like the Antennacraft HD1850 because it would offer full coverage of the OTA spectrum.
A good quality preamp would be needed as well. For some time now, my default choice has been the RCA TVPRAMP1R. I see Antennas Direct has released a new preamp to the market... I have yet to test a sample of that preamp though.
