[Lowfer] TS-890

[Zack Widup]

I just got an FT897D. Nowhere hear the bells and whistles of that radio but
it is a great small radio for portable operation, plus it has 144 and 432
MHz, too.

But I was tuning around in the NDB LF band as well as 475 kHz with it the
other night. The FSK CW beacon (I forget the call now) on 475 kHz was just
booming in on the radio and I heard a lot of NDB's between 250 and 450 kHz.
