No. Depending upon the transmiiter site you might be getting the back lobe off an antenna targeting another area. Hard to say what you are listening to without more info. HTH.

VOA has 3 transmission sites near Greenville and Ahoskie NC, collectively known as the Edward R. Murrow Transmitter Station. I understand only one of those locations is now active. Although VOA is an external service, it can be easily recieved in North America.

Can you give us the time when you heard it, and on what frequency? Given your location and that it was at night, you probably caught a transmission out of the Africas-either Sao Tome or the souteastern tip.
VOA schedules here
Short-Wave Frequency Schedule for BBC in ENGLISH at 02:33GMT

Based on frequency, you heard VOA's Greenville, SC transmitter, in the 0130-0200utc timeframe.
This is their only BC on that frequency.

Yes you are right-I should have taken that step to be sure which Greenville. But the pertinent info I gave was accurate.
