Hmmmm.... well, I've not heard any positive response to this since its posting last Thursday, so it won't be on the program for tonight.

All:  


I've secured a DVD short movie of the 3Y0X Peter I Island DXpedition that I'd be glad to bring to an evening AUARC meeting.  I would want to have some sort of projection because it just isn't pleasant to watch on a PC screen.  The movie says it is an hour in length, but I don't remember it being that long (maybe I was just enjoying it!).  


Let me know.  This would be for 22 October, so we'd have to have an appropriate room with some good projection and acoustics.    I can probably bring a PC with a good sound system.  73   John...  WB4LNM




Peter I Island, 275 miles off the west coast of Antarctica and south of most of the Antarctic bases, was one of the most wanted DXCC entities -- until twenty-one international ham operators plus a non-ham world traveler took on the daunting task of mounting the most costly DXpedition in history.
Considered by some to be the DXpedition of the Decade, this 3YØX DVD brings the danger and excitement right into your living room.  See the helicopter flights, hear the howling storms and incessant wind, and struggle along with the team as they erect shelters and antennas.
Hear the huge pileups as heard from the bottom of the world at the bottom of the sunspot cycle.
Watch the daring rescue of a team member and three ship's crew members as they remove the last gear from the island.
