Twelve is kind of limiting. Do you plan on using the SSB to
receive weatherfax? An older radio probably won't do well
in the digital modes like Sailmail or Winlink. There is a pretty
good book with a silly name "Marine SSB for IdiYachts".
It has good coverage of the useful frequencies and what
they are used for. How old is this radio? Does it have tubes
