Hi Don,
I have the fourth edition (1983) of the RSGB VHF/UHF Manual which I
bought in the 80s. It was and despite being dated, remains one of my
favorite books. I wish I had all the other editions of it, but sadly
this is the only one I have. It shows some wear from frequent use!
I first got on VHF weak signal (144 MHz) in 1986.

Morning Paul,
I have several RSGB books picked up while stationed in Europe in the
mid-1980's and later through work visits that I still reread
occasionally. I have a job that often requires me to participate in
things that are "PED 0" (no personal electronic devices allowed) and
carrying hard copy books are very convenient for "down time". One of my
favorites in the mid-1990's VHF-UHF DX Book which has lots of good, if
dated information. In fact the 2017 digital version of that book even
states:
"As with all older books, the challenge for the reader is to separate
the parts that are of lasting value from other parts that have become
dated. But we make no apology for the latter; they remain an accurate
snapshot of VHF/UHF DXing in its heyday."
And I am old enough to remember some of the times they discussed.
