 Shortwave radio - Crankcase
Years back I had a scanner thingy, now long gone, which had shortwave on it. I used to toodle up and down and pick up some stuff that amused me briefly - bits of morse to practise, disembodied voices that might have been the VOA or might have been the local taxi rank.

Anyway.

I fancied seeing if there was anything out there still, but I have no kit. I don't really want to spend any real money of course - is there an online "shortwave emulator" that would allow me to press a button on screen and hear real time shortwave? I googled but couldn't find such a thing.

If not I guess I could be persuaded to see if there are shortwave transistor radios on eBay for tuppence, or some such? No idea, not looked at this point.

And I suppose the second question is - is there actually anything still broadcasting to listen to anyway, or is it all dead now?
