This was the name of a TV program.
It really confused me at first.

WBRA-DT-3 was my first DTV by E-Skip.

This is what was showing on their subchannel 3

Supposed to be WILX-TV

This station was  being transmitted from  the Manito, IL Police Department using a "Rabbit" transmitter.  I think the antenna was on a tower.  Manito is 48 miles away. This totally baffled me at first.  After calling some phone numbers in announcements it was tracked down.
It was seen for about a week then, um, vanished...

A FCC clerical error has given this station a wrong callsign 

getting two DTVs at once

 K36AB Lawton, OK usually rebroadcasts KETA-13 which it picks up over the air. During the Thanksgiving, 1986 Mega-tropo opening, when KETA was off the air in the early am, K36AB was picking up and rebroadcasting WTHR-13 in Indianapolis, IN which is 765 miles away.

WSNS-DT-45 with wrong call letters in the text ID

Mexico by tropo.  That's their CCI under WHSL's shopping.  I have it on audiotape with an ID at the top of the hour.  984 miles

(Now if  I can only find it...)

A channel 59 TP on channel 52

A mystery TBN below minus offset that was on the air for about a week.  It  was also seen in KY. There is no explaination for it.  Not in FCC database.

This is another mystery TBN coming from the direction of St. Louis.  It was on the air for a few days then vanished.  Another station with no explaination.  Not in FCC database.

During the early am one morning in 1973, when I lived in Bethesda, MD, this mystery channel 7 came on the air under WMAL about 20 minutes before they signed off.  The CCI was 20 KHz offset to WMAL, so channel 7- (minus). 

After WMAL cut their carrier this test pattern appeared.  I called the FCC to find out where VV28999 was licensed to but they had no record of it.  The station was coming from the direction of the Pentagon.

I was once a Nielsen Family and filled out their logbook for a week accurately listing all the channels I was watching.   It was filled with TV DX.

I never expected to hear from them again, but a few years later I again became a Nielsen Family. 
This time I just ignored it.
 

Perhaps the greatest midwest tropo opening in recorded history occurred from November 24 to 30, 1986. 

WTBY-54 in Poughkeepsie, NY, for example, was in all day and night for 2 days.  It had never been seen before and hasn't been seen since.

WTWS-26 New London, CT was coming in at the same time as K36AB Lawton, OK was rebroadcasting WTHR-13 Indianapolis (see the K36AB picture 3 rows above).

KSAT-12 San Antonio was coming in at the same time as PA state translators above channel 70.
