Well, I'm guessing your ideas run the gamut of all the standard RF
human-generated signals. It might be fun to track satellites, even if you
can't decode their signals, I think most are just UHF.
Besides standard radio transmissions, there is ULF, or ultra-low
frequencies, and even audio-frequency radio to listen for (most of it is
purely naturally occuring, and not white noise either). Other things to
measure might be vibrations, you could try all kinds of neat triangulation
exercises with that (ok, maybe that's over a 10-year-old's head ;-). Far
infra-red (heat) is always there to tinker with.
