I had a Radio Shack DX160 and enjoyed it very much. The dial was really cool looking! Just about any long wire antenna will get you international reception. It also has a BFO function so you can listen to single sideband a carrier wave transmissions (SSB & CW) fun to learn code on.
Radio shack still has an inexpensive copper wire antenna that can be strung outside or in your attic.
