Ah Numbers stations, You must have been on Lewis's M3HHY you tube channel. Remember listening to them on my old mans Grundig Ocean boy in the early to mid 70s.
For shortwave, (we call it HF) you need to remember most of the band is EMF noise, you are going to need to chuck an aerial outside (length of wire out the window is good) and you are going to need to get a set that does SSB (upper and lower). Start off with an SDR dongle plugged into your PC with an SDR programme. (around your 35 quid target) (I'll say again, till you have a length of wire out the window you are wasting your time)
You are going to need to invest a lot of time to acquire the twiddling finger and ear, initially it can be very frustrating.
