I have a question about Sony's Wave Handbook. What does target like

Middle East, Asia-Oceania, Africa or America mean? Is it possible to catch
a
signal targeted Europe in California?

"Targeting" implies several things. For example, if a broadcaster is
targeting a particular transmission to Africa, it will:

- Use an antenna that beams it's signal toward Africa.

- Choose a time and frequency that provides good propagation to Africa.

- Choose a language that will be widely understood in Africa.

- Choose a time of day when people in that area will be likely to be
listening.

- Choose topics of interest to people in that area.

That being said, it's certainly possible for people outside the target zone
to hear the broadcast.
