This would make a good set for listening... ITT Mackay Marine 3021A from the old WW2 T-2 tanker ship I used to work on. I saved this receiver from going into Davy Jones' locker a few years back. The RO and all the gear was replaced by GMDSS, so they gutted the radio room to make an office out of it. The receiver and transmitters were all going to be chunked at sea, but I talked the captain into letting me bring it home. I just couldn't see this stuff being thrown away... it all worked perfectly.

The big transmitters are out in my garage, and the receiver (1975 vintage) stays in the house. Pretty neat gear from '75... has electronic tuning and digital readout. Tunes 0-30 megs. When i first brought it home, I connected an antenna to it and listened occasionally, but soon found that it just wasn't for me. Seems like all the hams on the air were either talking about weather, or comparing what kind of gear they were using.
