During the early 60's, I had a shortwave and listened to broadcasts from many countries. One of my favorites was Radio Moscow broadcasting anti-USA propaganda about the Vietnam War. I would send an outline of the program to the stations, and they would confirm my reception with a QSL Card. I collected many.

Currently, with access to radio via the internet, I have no idea what is out there now. You'll need to connect an antenna. A 10'-20' fairly thick gauge wire laid out horizontally should do well. I suggest connecting the antenna, turn it on and see what happens... Let us know!
