[Nodxa] NODXA's Monthly Meeting --- (*Guess who is in the log?)

[Tedd Mirgliotta (KB8NW)]

Hello Fellow DXers,
Just a reminder that Monday night's club meeting there will be a
program. We will show the K4M Midway Atoll video by James
Brooks, 9V1YC. This is his best DXpedition video ever and it is
about 45 minutes long. We will use a projector. We will try to
have a quick business meeting and then show the video. If you
missed my review on the video in the OPDX Bulletin, here it is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DVD VIDEO REVIEWED BY EDITOR TEDD MIRGLIOTTA, KB8NW (K4M - Midway Atoll:
"Stepping Stone of the Pacific"). ***** Five Star Rating - If you are big
fan of James Brooks, 9V1YC, DXpedition videos, than you are going to want
to add this one to your collection. This video is probably his best video
yet. As in all of his videos, James provides you with great cinematography
of the island and a story of the DXpedition. The video starts with the
K4M DXpedition team waiting to leave the Hawaiian Islands, but was delayed
due to mechanical problems with their chartered aircraft. However, after
a few days, the team was able to leave for Midway and only lost a few
days of their operating time. During the DXpedition antenna setup, you
will see the K4M team taking great care and extreme measures in protecting
the birds on the island. No Yagis were used. Only verticals were used
under the request/advisement of the U.S. Forest and Wildlife Service.
Naturally, the video shows the K4M operating during the DXpedition, but
the video also provides interesting details on the history of Midway
Atoll and how the U.S. Forest and Wildlife Service was able to take
control and make it into a reserve in 1988 to protect the wildlife on
the island. Interviews with the members of the K4M team and individuals
from U.S. Forest and Wildlife Service also provided interesting details
about Midway. Operating/living conditions on the island - air conditioning,
a bar, three meals a day from a cafeteria, scenic views from the window,
InterNet access, cable TV -- WHAT! Are they staying at the Hilton? James
also provides video from many different views/loctaions on the island
(old air force base and hangers, old ham shack, interesting stuff/junk
left behind by the military, beaches, abandoned buildings..etc). I do
not want to spoil it with any more details. Buy the video! It is 44
minutes of great PBS quality video that you will enjoy, and it is now
available for 25.00 USDs. To order yours today, go to:

  Hope to see you there.... 73 de Tedd KB8NW

P.S. Oh.... Did I forget to mention again that some club member has his
callsign show up in the log on the video? It was on 160m..... Guess who
it is (it is not who you think)..........
