> VP8GEO VIDEO (Review by Editor Tedd Mirgliotta, KB8NW). I really enjoyed
> viewing Part 2 of "The Mirco-Lite DXpedition" video titled "VP8GEO South
> Georgia 2002" (Written and Filmed by James Brooks, 9V1YC) over the past
> weekend. James has once again shown his talents in filming and writing
> this latest video. As with his past videos, this is another ***** (five)
> star presentation showing the beauty and history of the islands. Granted
> this is a ham radio video, but this video and narration can pass as a PBS
> program.
> Naturally, the video does show the Mirco-lite team setting up antennas
> and operating as VP8GEO. The video also includes personal interviews from
> the members of the Mirco-lite team. However, the main thing I noticed on
> this video compared to the others is the team's working relationship, not
> just between the Micro-Lite team, but with the crew of the Braveheart and
> the locals on the island. Between the operating, making friends on the
> island and helping free a seal from a fishing net around its neck, this
> video was truly enlightening to watch. It is must for anyone who collects
> DX videos.
> This video is also available on DVD (the first DXpedition on DVD). To
> order this video/DVD or some of the other videos James has filmed, please

> prior (1999 & 1998) as VE2CSI from Zone 2 and a stint from Lord Howe as

> direct at Mike Russo, 8 Rocky Hill Rd Scarborough, Maine 04074 or through

> frequencies (....14036, 21036, 28036, 21236, 14236, 28336.... If this
> sounds a little strange, it is because our local DX repeater is 147.360).
