· Finalize December Dinner Plans
· Movie/Speaker Subject:The next IBM radio club meeting is the Peter I - 3Y0X - Movie on November 18th, Tuesday at 7:30 PM
Don't miss this meeting - This is your chance.
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.
