Earthquake in Hokkaido

A huge earthquake hit a north island of Japan yesterday.  Many people were killed and injured in the neighboring area of Sapporo. Most of the areas are suffring from the shortage of electricity and water.

ICF-EX5MK2

I didn't noticed that SONY ICF-EX5MK2 had been discontinued.  This model is famous for its high sensitivity as a portable radio and had been produced over 30 years following the previous model ICF-EX5.
SONY has already discontinued the shoortwave radio ICF-7600GR, which was one of a few choices for enthusiastic listeners.
