Here I’l tell you about some of my favourite videos. Namely the Dxpedition videos that you can buy on http://dxvideos.com/. I’ll list all of them down below.

ZL8R – Angry Giant of the Pacific

Separated from New Zealand by over 1000 km, and located at the junction of two opposing continental plates, the Kermadec chain of islands is one of the most seismically active regions of the world. Raoul Island, located at its northern end, is home to a large volcano which violently erupted without warning on March 17, 2006.

Six months later, under the close supervision of the New Zealand Department of Conservation, the Microlite Penguins DXpedition team was offered a rare opportunity to explore Raoul Island, and activate yet another of the DX world’s most wanted.

The movie is 46 minutes and the dvd is not region-locked.

BS7H – DXCC’s Front Line!

Located in the South China Sea just west of the Philippines, Scarborough Reef is without a doubt the rarest and most controversial entity on the DXCC list. Few places are harder to access, and fewer still create such intense debate.  

Because of diplomatic disputes between its two feuding masters, China and the Philippines, the reef has seen just three brief expeditions in the past, keeping it at the top of the DXCC list for over a decade.

This film takes a close look at the Scarborough controversy, and follows the 2007 DXpedition team as they activate the rarest DXCC entity on Earth.

The movie is 58 minutes and the dvd is not region-locked.

ZL9CI – Wildlife, Adventure, History and DX

Campbell Island is New Zealand’s coldest, and most remote Sub-Antarctic outpost. Originally home to a weather station, the island is now uninhabited and designated by New Zealand as a protected nature reserve. This DVD brings you Campbell Island’s amazing collection of wildlife, her fascinating history of occupation and abandonment, and the secrets behind one of the most successful DX adventures of all time!

The movie is 60 minutes and the dvd is not region-locked. Buy it here for only 25$: http://dxvideos.com/zl9civideo.htm

VP8THU – The Antarctic DX Challenge

Described by Captain James Cook as the most horrible place on Earth, the South Sandwich Islands are also one of the most logistically difficult places for a DXpedition. Using only 100 watts and verticals, this experienced team took on the South Atlantic’s tough environmental challenge by heading to Southern Thule – the planet’s most southerly piece of land outside the Antarctic Treaty Zone.

Operating within the remains of an old Argentine base, (and amongst 100,000 penguins!) this video documents how a super-lightweight expedition set out to bring back the fun of old-time DXpeditions!

The movie is 45 minutes and the dvd is not region-locked.

VP8GEO – The Antarctic DX Oasis

In Part 2 of the "Micro-Lite" DXpedition, the team fires up the stations once again, this time from the beautiful Antarctic paradise of South Georgia!

From the adventurous James Cook, to the unstoppable Earnest Shackelton, discover why South Georgia has been the Antarctic’s most famous – and most exploited island for over 200 years. Then go behind the scenes with the operators to learn all the secrets behind "Micro-Lite" DXpeditioning, and why this time the team decided to leave the heavy stuff at home!

VK0IR – Outpost at the Edge

Heard Island is one of the Earth’s most pristine and isolated natural wilderness and one of the few places on the planet completely free from any human introduced species. Its remote, inhospitable, and almost as far from civilization as possible. This might explain why it has been twice occupied and twice abandoned.

Originally released for viewing to the general public on broadcast television, this 1998 documentary traces the early nineteenth century American sealing history through the Australian occupation in the 1950’s, and finally to the famous 1997 DXpedition.

The movie is 50 minutes and the dvd is not region-locked.

FT5XO – DXpedition to Desolation Island

Located halfway between Africa and Australia, and just about as far away from North America as possible, this icy, windswept island has always held a top spot on the DX world’s most wanted lists. But just what kind of DXer does it take to leave home for 6 weeks and travel to such a faraway place?

Sailing with the famous R/V Braveheart to new extremes in the South Indian Ocean, and again using the "low power-vertical antenna" approach, join the Microlite Penguins DXpedition team as they battle through the seas and the pileups from yet another remote Antarctic destination!

The movie is 54 minutes and the dvd is not region-locked. Buy it here for only 25$: http://dxvideos.com/ft5xovideo.htm
 

FO0AAA – The Forgotten Island of the Pacific

Located in the lonely Northeast Pacific Ocean, Clipperton is one of the world’s most mysterious and unknown islands. For almost 300 years it’s legendary, and sometimes brutal curse has made this island notorious with sailors for bad luck.

This DVD documents the FO0AAA DXpedition of March 2000, and then presents one of the best historical records ever made on video. From the numerous DXpeditions over the years, to the chilling history of murder, shipwreck and piracy, join this team of adventurers as they re-activate one of Amateur Radio’s most infamous destinations!

A52A – The Secret Kingdom of the Himalayas

Tucked away, far up in the Eastern Himalayas is the tiny Kingdom of Bhutan – one of the most isolated and unknown nations on Earth – and one of the most wanted DXCC entities of all time.

This film will take you to a nation and a people rarely seen by the outside world (even on television or video). Experience what is actually like to be behind the scenes at one of the world’s ultimate destinations with some of the best operators ever assembled.
