Really outdid yourself this time! Just finished watching the video again with my wife and her sister. Neither of them are hams, but both were

VERY impressed with the quality and content....obviously they were more interested in the native people and scenery than in the radio portions,

but even that received a number of positive comments. This from two women who really don't give a hoot about ham radio - HI. Anyone who

sees this would surely buy it. My compliments again and again for a job WELL DONE!!      -  Carl, N4AA   (QRZ DX & The DX Magazine)

James, 9V1YC, has done it again! I have just viewed the A52A video over the past weekend and I would have to say James has made

another "**** Four Star Video". This high quality enlightening and educational video is a must for DXers. In James' video (as in all his videos)

he mixes the sites and sounds of Bhutan which are breathtaking. OH YEA, the bus trip to the Pine Wood Hotel was great! Strap on your seat

belts FOLKS! I personallly would like to thank James for the ride and view of Bhutan.   - Tedd, KB8NW   (Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin)

I just watched the A52A DXpedition video, written and directed by James Brooks 9V1YC. The video tells a great story of a DXpedtion put together

in two weeks by Glenn Johnson W0GJ and brings the history and beauty of Bhutan alive. It's an hour long and sure beats a re-run of  anything you

watch on the goggle box lately. The narration, interviews and photography gives you a great insight into the problems of a big DXpedition, both from

the logistics and operational point of view. Excellent shots of operators in pileups interspersed with the beauty and landscape of Bhutan make it well

worth getting. Erecting a Titanex Vertical on a hillside is mind boggling! Like his other videos of ZL9CI and FO0AAA, James 9V1YC remains elusive

and is nowhere to be seen. The viewer often wonders "does he exist"? But in this video, he leaves a tantalizing clue that he actually does exist, when

he films Mark Johnson, Glenn's son running pileups. James shadow and camera appear in silhouette on the back of Mark's shirt. Its a great video,

well worth buying as are his other works.   -  Lee, ZL2AL

 

Let me say, that the quality of your videos is outstanding. I.e.. the filming, the content, the commentary and production. They are professional and

come over like an interesting "Discovery" channel documentary. The "non-amateur" radio information is interesting and provides a fascinating link

between the location and the amateur radio activity. You obviously did a lot of background research. A video showing continuous amateur radio

activity would be boring even to a radio ham.  I have always been interested in mountaineering, and used to read the books by Chris Bonnington,

a leading UK mountaineer on conquests in the Himalaya etc. . He once said that it was a difficult thing during an expedition to record and photograph

everything you did, and it was tempting to forget it when you were making a strenuous bid for the summit etc, but if you did that, the expedition would

be lost for ever.  I'm afraid I've done that on most of my DXpeditions. I have concentrated on the logistics, the licensing, and the operating, and

sometimes not even taken a camera. Some of the DXpeditions I have participated in would have provided material for you which would have

surpassed the ones I've seen, but they are now lost.  So, it is with sincerity that I thank you for recording, for history, in a most professional way,

the best videos I've ever seen in the hobby.   - Ray, HS0/G3NOM

 

Absolutely Superb...   - Bruce, W6OSP

 

Another excellent Dxpedition tape... - Ron, K6UR

 

I ordered the A52A video and received it a week or two ago.  It is fantastic - even my non-ham XYL watched it and enjoyed it!  I previously bought

the ZL9CI and FO0AAA videos and enjoyed them also.  You have done an excellent job on them.   -  Scott, W3YX

 

This one outdoes the ZL9CI video. Perhaps the best amateur radio video ever produced. Congrats on a masterful production.

Felt like I went on the dxpedition.   - Dave, N1LQ

 

Very neat and impressive stuff!  - Stefan, SM4OTI

 

Once again, a wonderful experience.   - Bob, W2GG

 

I watched the A52A tape last night and it was fabulous!! I loved the fast trip up to the hotel! I have never seen a Titanex vertical, but watching you

guys put that up as kinda scary. - Kevin, WN9O

 

I felt like I was there!   - Rick, NE8Z

 

Excellent and very well done... Hope you make some more soon!   - Gareth, SWL RS177720

 

I think the secret of success here is that they are made by a radio amateur for radio amateurs. The flight down into Bhutan with that music,

All the keys in action, Brilliant!  - John, G4ETQ
