(I knew QRYs were high in the 1970s and 1980s but 10 years is a bit excessive).

I remember the QM report at the time, I think Shortwave Magazine had a mention of it? The story about TV reception from the USA also crops up from time to time, it's certainly not uncommon for trans-atlantic signals on low VHF, working the States is common on the 50MHz ham band, often with low power. I've a feeling there are photos of the US station's test card around?
As to where these signals have been.......................?? The QM signals sound an unlikely hoax, who would be listening for such traffic? It might be worth browsing this site,
