Well, the aviation band allocations haven't changed much in quite a long
time.
If it still works, then you can probably listen to aviation on it (don't
know about submarines!).
You certainly wouldn't want to transmit on it. Although unless you know how
to setup and tune an antenna for it, you probably won't generate much of a
signal, nor will the radio last very long if it transmits on a grossly
out-of-tune antenna!

A friend of mine received a tube-type shortwave radio from the local
airport years ago. He flew out of that airport, as an amateur flier, and
was in the right place to get this thing. I haven't seen this thing yet,
but if it served as the airports communications, am I gonna have the
ability to contact submarines with this thing, or what? He's giving it
to me. I mean, is this gonna be like heavy artillery, or just a
nostalgic old noise maker? Darren
