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.
