You can get a radio signal from space on your computer using SETI.
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that carry energy. When these waves are absorbed by the radio's antenna, they induce electrical currents in the circuitry of the radio. This process allows the radio to convert the energy from the radio waves into sound, enabling us to hear broadcasts. However, radio waves themselves do not heat; it is the conversion of that energy into electrical signals that allows the radio to function.
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves. The radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. A radio wave has a much longer wavelength than does visible light. We use radio waves extensively for communications.

SETI
They have a great website. Please check it out. SETI stands for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. It is a project which started in 1959 to search for radio signals from intelligent life in space. The SETI project uses radio telescopes from around the world to scan the sky and look for special patterns in radio waves which could have been sent by another civilization in space. Radio telescopes are used because radio waves can travel very far in space without being absorbed by the thick clouds of gas and dust which lie in many regions of space. Also, radio telescopes can be used both day and night. We have been sending out our own radio waves into space for over sixty years. All of our radio and televison signals travel into space at the speed of light and may one day be detected by another civilization in space.
SETI (Search For Extra Terrestrial intelligence) broadcasts radio frequencies that are clear they are from intelligent life forms. So if a civilization were to pick it up they know its not random.

Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
No. Radar waves are one category of radio waves. Think of all the radio waves that are all around you right now . . . AM radio, FM radio, police and fire radio, highway patrol radio, taxi radio, television picture and sound radio waves, cellphone radio waves, garage-door-opener radio waves, bluetooth radio waves, WiFi waves, microwaves ... and you can't see any of them ! Radar waves can easily be there in the group.
Well... You could help S.E.T.I. By helping them to search for extraterrestrials (Aliens)Seti@home needs your helpWhat is SETI@home?SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.The address is: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu
by changing the amplitude or frequency of the radio waves.
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves occurring on the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Radio Waves - radio station - was created in 2010.
