Sounds like the LF source book of a couple of years ago. Most of the
information was obsolete and bore no resemblance to the achievements taking
place when it was published. I think 23 km was the record when in fact I
had
worked OH1TN and got 579 on normal Morse when it went to print.

I do not understand why you have to be so rude about the source book. When
it was published I believe it was a genuine attempt to get the best
information that was available, and easily reproducible, quickly out to the
interested beginners. I for one have constantly referred to various sections
of it, often going back and picking up a few more nuggets by re reading.
Surely that is the purpose of a source book.
Records by their very nature are transient things which most of us
appreciate, will, at some stage, be overtaken. The technical content however
can be reused. As shown by our use of of documentation of LF work done in
the 1920's to 1950's.
