I'm getting a Pittsburgh station in Canada. How?

I live in Oakville, Ontario. I recently built an 8 bay antenna with a reflective backing from scratch, attached a preamp, cut the minimum length for the cable to my TV, attached an amp and am now able to pick up quite a few stations. I won't list them all, but every once in a while, I can get a weak but viewable signal from KDKA in Pittsburgh. It's not dependable at all (it breaks up quite a bit when I do get it), and I don't care if I have it, but I thought this would be well out of my reach. How am I able to pick it up? Is there a repeater transmitter between Pittsburgh and Buffalo?

What's even stranger is that the signal, weak as it is, comes in only when it's overcast outside. I am baffled.
