The Hammarlund is seriously impressive....out of all of the boat anchors I have, for listening to SSB QSOs or CW it's probably the best. Drift is minimal....when turned off the heaters on two of the tubes are constantly powered in order to keep the radio on frequency. It's a ham band only receiver. I picked up the Hammarlund and the National that I stuck the power transformer in for $75 for the pair. The Hammarlund only needed a control cleaning and new caps just for good measure. It had seen almost no use over its life.
