You didn't say if you were wanting to record an AM, FM or shortwave program.
But an easy way to do this would be use a $6.00 light timer ( turns lights
on and
off in your house at times you set ) and attach it to your radio & a
cassette recorder.
Put the tape in and press record, with the timer in the off position. When
the timer turns 'ON'
the radio ( already tuned to the frequency you want) will turn on and so
will the recorder,
and turn off in an hour or what ever you select.

If you want to get fancy, put the radio on a timer and attach to the sound
card of your
computer and use a VOX sound recorder program ( there are several
available )
from there you can listen directly from your system or make a CD of the
program
and listen to on any CD player or share it with anyone you want.
