Lots of great assistance already, thanks!
Here are some additional clarifications ...
1. The interference is on all TV channels, VHF & UHF.
2. Removing the distribution amp eliminates both my
desirable TV signal and the 6M interference.
3. I presume that my Yaesu FT-857D is not sending
TV frequency signals to my homebrew delta loop
so it must be that the distribution amp is picking
up 6M along with the weaker TV signals and amplifying
them all together.
Therefore, I am guessing that I need a 6M trap filter
just prior to the TV distribution amp. so it has nothing
on 6M to amplify.
Where do I find such a critter? Or are they fairly
simple to build?
WDAYT? (What Do All Y'all Think?)

Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E
Have you tried 6m & 10M lately? Wow!
