A Cleveland special, according to a buddy who lives in Lorain (Google maps operation is left as an exercise for the reader) told me a while ago that it was a local broad-beam antenna with a much more directional multi-beam Yagi appended to it, and electrically connected in a pretty simple manner (which I don't know the details of). It was supposed to do a good job of reeling in signals from the Cleveland area transmitter.

If you have a Ham antenna of almost any sort, maybe stack come adaptors, plug it in and see what happens. Just getting a wire outside the house may help. (Transmit-free wire, that is...)

There are also directional, amplified indoor antennas that help. If you go to antennaweb it may give you some recommendations.
