Pained in Portland

I can only receive one channel in my condo. It’s a townhouse-style apartment with the TV located on the second floor. This is the only TV that I own.

I’m using a Mohu Leaf from 2013 and about 15 feet of cable.

Initially, when I connected the antenna, the only channels I received were the local PBS affiliate (10-1, 10-2, 10-3.) Then, I moved the TV and antenna and taped the Leaf to my window. Channel 10 no longer came in but I was receiving the CW channel (32.)

The only channels that I’m interested in receiving are the following:

2-1 KATU HD: ABC affiliate
6-1 KOIN HD: CBS affiliate
8-1 KGW HD: NBC affiliate
10-1 OPB: Oregon Public Broadcasting
10-2 OPB: OPB alternate programming
12-1 KPTV DT: Fox affiliate
32-1 KRCW DT: "The CW" affiliate

What would you say would be my best bet to pick up NBC, CBS and ABC primarily? The other 3 would be nice, but not mandatory.

Would a different indoor antenna help? Do I need an amplifier?

I’m not sure if the HOA would even allow a rooftop antenna, but there’s a meeting in a couple of weeks and I can find out.

I don’t know anything about antennas and TV signals, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
