[Boatanchors] New MF Amateur Band Approved at WRC- 472 to 479kHz

[Geoff]

A very narrow receiver BW plus notch filter can do wonders in a high noise 
area, plus that bowl of mush between our ears and a good set of headphones.

It amazes me when I hear others complaining about missing a new one on CW 
and come to find out they dont even own headphones!
