No, not at all. Shortwave listening is a very popular hobby. You can buy ready-made or build-it-yourself shortwave radios. However, as a lifelong shortwave listener, there is, admittedly, less to listen to on shortwave today that formerly.
Good places to start with would be Radio Shack, Amazon, and places like that. Read the reviews on the different types of portable shortwave radios to find the best one.
