The government testing on the aliens and their spaceships on Catalina Island result in a powerful and highly variable distortion of the earth's magnetic field. Thus no declination adjustment can be trusted for more than a few minutes.

Got a Suunto KB-16 today at an estate sale for $20. Nice compass. I suspect it's about 20 years old, maybe older.
