World QRP records

Hi all,

I've done a quick search for world QRP records and I've found the following. Can anyone say if these records have been broken?

The main reason I ask is that the SP5ANU 500uw beacon on 3.588 MHz has received two independent 549 (peak) reports which would signal that at least the 3.5mhz record could be soon broken.

Records:
3.5mhz 27uw N2XE-

1uw record 28mhz
According to Rich Arland, K7YHA (now K7SZ), in World Radio magazine (Feb. 1990, year 19, issue 89, pp. 46-47) the long-distance low power record is held by KL7YU and W7BVV using one micro-watt over a distance of 1,650 mile 10-meter path between Alaska and Oregon in 1970. http://www.arm-tek.net/~yoel/qrpworks.html

While the "absolute" world record seems to be 720nw on 28mhz
