If you can imagine a giant spiral, (much like a flattened pinwheel) have a
look at
https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/solar-system/our-solar-system/overview
To quote text found below the graphic, "Our planetary system is located in
an outer spiral arm of the
Milky Way galaxy.
If you scroll down further, you'll find a smaller image that depicts the
full spiral.
Are our radio signals out there somewhere? Yes, a bit weaker for their
journey, but they are still spreading throughout the galaxy.
Here's a website that's fun to look up from time to time.
