FM transmitter for ipod touch

I got a new gadget, a FM transmitter for ipod touch. I always carry my ipod touch when going out everyday. It is equipped with a small speaker on the back surface, which allows us to listen without a earphone. But due to the poor audio quality of this speaker, I always use a FM transmitter which send  sound to a radio.

I pusrshased a Moleskine notebook at half price. Moleskine is a famouse brand in the field of the notebook market.

QSL from KKOL 1300kHz

I received a QSL card from KKOL 1300kHz, Seatle. I reported my reception to this station at the beginning of December. I was not sure that KKOL has its own card or letter as QSL, so I enclosed a PFC, which is a card  desigined by myself, with my report. This is the way I usually do when sending reports because it is not easy to get QSL from stations in US.

An engineer of KKLO kindly returned my card with his sign. 

SONY ICF-5800

My first shopping this year is a shortwave radio. It's Sony's ICF-5800. This is a memorable radio for me. Because I got to know a hobby of shortwave listening through a TV commercial of this model more than thirty years ago. Catching signals of Radio Australia and BBC with this radio fascinated me very much because it  made me feel that I was connected to other countries through a tiny radio.

The one I purchsed was well restored by experts and show excellent features which are more than what I expected. Audio quality is good and it's easy to operate. On top of that, the overall design fits to my favor. 

My new digital camera

I bought a new digital camera of Fujifilm. This model, FinePix F100fd, is the newest in this category and equipped with excelletnt features. This camera has been produced since last March and got a good reputation among customers. I saw a lot of notes praizing its outstanding features as a compact camera. 

KVRI QSL letter

I received a QSL letter from KVRI, which I heard on 1600kHz last month. I didn't got QSLs from MW stations on the west coast in the past five years because I have been away from this hobby of listening to radio stations. The letter is so simple, describing the data of my reception but it is memorable one for me.

Calendar from Korea

I received a next year's calendar from KBS World Radio. This is a prize of the quiz in the last quarter.
