James Brooks, 9V1YC, announces: "The VP8GEO South Georgia 2002 video is now ready, completing 'part 2' of this year's South Atlantic 'Micro-Lite' DXpedition video series. As with previous titles this video is not just about an amateur radio DXpedition, but also covers South Georgia's history, wildlife, and people. There are also numerous pileup sequences and in-depth interviews with the team members discussing the rather unique philosophy behind the trip. Another interesting aspect of this release is that it's now available on DVD. With the rapid increase in popularity of this medium - especially in North America - both Part 1 (VP8THU) and Part 2 (VP8GEO) of this video were manufactured on separate DVD discs - in addition to the standard VHS video cassettes. This is the first major DXpedition video ever released on professionally manufactured DVD, and it is hoped that the vast increase in picture and sound quality will encourage more people to switch over to this superior format. The upcoming WRTC Finland 2002 video (currently in production here) will also be released on DVD later this year."
