KETC has the weakest transmitter in St Louis and is usually difficult to pick up with an indoor antenna out in St Peters (I see you're just a few blocks south of Mid River's Mall, Ridgewoods Apartments).
Unless you have a decent signal path towards Fenton, the location of KETC's tower, your odds of getting reliable reception is going to be determined mostly by what's out in front of your antenna as your primary method for the signal to reach any indoor antenna is going to be due to signal penetration of all the building materials.
Be patient and be prepared to try multiple locations for your antenna. Do not get married to one spot just because it's convenient.
If you want to pick up something locally that you can try, your local Walmart or Best Buy should have the C2V (you don't need the VHF module), Walmart will have the ClearStream 1 Convertible, Best Buy will have the Micron XG.
The Micron XG comes with an indoor amplifier. If you try either of the other models, see if your Walmart has an RCA AMP1450BR, usually around $15-20, and get it as well as coaxial cable.
