There are quite a few things to listen to, including but not limited to:
Numbers stations,
HF utility stations,
Marine HF,
Aero HF (although this is becoming more rare)
HF broadcast DX
to name a few.

It depends greatly on what you *want* to listen to/for and what receiving setup you have.

Google that.
On the other hand, great resource is https://www.klingenfuss.org
Worth investing, if you don't want waste time with search engines instead of listening.

and

are reasonable sources of maring HF frequencies but you'll need something like Klingenfuss to list what they are used for unless you fancy setting up a receiver to scan them (recommended) to see what the activity is like.
