We did them to 200' and 1/4 mile. Sounds hard to believe today, but
we took it for granted.

Probably one of the differences back then vs now is that you probably
had at least one guy on the field that just went around and tuned up
ADF receivers. If you've been tuned in the last 30 days you could
probably get a good approach. Most ADF planes on the field now would be
lucky to get w/i 3 miles of the airport on the ADF today.
