The oddest DX catch for me was in the wee hours of the morning on a December day in 1982 (or was it 1983?), when a very good sporadic-E opening was going.
I had been watching a test signal from a TV station in Saskatchewan on channel 3, which was built to repeat a channel 5 station some distance away.
Suddenly, the resolution bar test signal gave way to an ID slide from Channel 5 Chicago (WMAQ-TV), and later test patterns of Channel 5 Cleveland (WEWS) and Channel 5 Bay City (WNEM). I was DXing the DX!
