Have you taken a look at WebSDR? Take a look at that link, you can listen to a lot. I'm not so much about WeFax as it's a DX station, but you could definitely check! There are many WebSDR's in the US as well, but the one I linked is very wide band. Google for "WebSDR' and you'll find a ton.
You could also scour second hand shops for a shortwave radio. Or save up $19 for one of these little pocket shortwave radios on Amazon - not the best radio to listen to morse code on given they receive AM mode only, but you could get WeFax and many shortwave broadcast.
The $20 RTL-SDR would be a good option as well, there are some mods to get it to receive HF, otherwise you can purchase an HF upconverter (or build one).
Best of luck!

I already have a nice camping shortwave and another small multiband receiver, but I wanted another, so I picked this up.

I misspoke. It only has SW 1-8.
It is a cheapy radio, but I have found that some of the cheap chinese radios work nicely for just fun listening
Unlike a lot of people, I'm not that big into the idea that communications will break down and the only news will be shortwave and ham. Ham radio has it's place, and if I can find a nice receiver I might buy it, but I don't go that much into it.
