Help with finding a radio or receiver to pick up time-traveler interviews!
Okay, so that title is a little more wacky than what I'm actually looking for...
As a kid, I used to love scanning the air waves on my grandpa's 1940's tube radio. Hearing the the beeps and blurps from space and the voices speaking in languages I didn't know existed as I turned the knob ever so slowly, was intoxicating.
Fast-forward to present day -- I'd like to try and capture a similar experience, but have zero idea where to start! I have the typical AM/FM radio, but am looking for a radio or receiver that picks up as broad a spectrum of waves as possible.
I also understand, at current, I don't have a great concept of wave lengths at this point, but I want to jump into trying things out ASAP.
TL;DR
Looking for help finding a good starting off point for a novice wanting to get started with listening to SW/LW and ham radio if possible (ideally, analog or digital but I want something that doesn't involve the internet.) Thanks so much for your time!
