Excellent! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Ordered it Friday, got it Monday. Watched it this evening (Tuesday). I was riveted to my 52" Sony watching this DVD of the 3Y0X Peter 1 Dxped. It never get's boring, and you almost feel like you were there. One get's to see all of the planning, time, and effort that goes into one of these dxpeditions, especially one like this that logistically was so demanding due to the location, weather, etc. Also have the K5D Desecheo Island Dxped DVD (also from Bob Allphin K4UEE) and it is just as well made. For $25 you cannot beat it! Highly recommended!

EXCELLENT!!!!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
A great video that shows how all the planning and teamwork made this operation happen.

A FANTASTIC JOB BY ALL INVOLVED.

The DVD should be in every ham shack.

This is worth every penny.
Excellent DVD.
Should be present in every ham-library.

Enjoyed watching the DVD about this expedition and their crew members.

Very Nicely Done Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
My XYL (VA5LIZ) and I just watched the 3Y0X PETER I ISLAND DVD (2006) that we had ordered. We both were lucky enough to make contact with them during their DXPEDITION and we wanted to see how they had put together such a well organized adventure. The DVD is excellent and covers their adventure very nicely. Very well done guys.
THANK YOU

Great Visually Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Visually, the DVD is excellent, from the actual photography to the editing and post-production work. Lots of radio chatter makes one listen carefully for their own call sign!

Where it falls down is the almost total lack of narration. Explanations are never made as to where the team is along the trip; explanations of what the viewer is seeing and so forth. If you didn't follow the journey on the web site, you would have no idea where the intermediate stops were and what was happening there.

Is the DVD worth the expense? Absolutely! Could it have been a beter presentation? Most certainly.

That said, it is an enjoyable adventure to watch.
