Master File Search System (MFS)
Joseph V. Cesaitis, Phillip G. Tremper · 1979
This paper describes a computerized system, designated Master File Search (MFS), which is a FORTRAN-based information retrieval program for all non-Government frequency assignments except for citizens and amateur licenses. The MFS was developed by the Spectrum Survey and Analysis Branch of the Spectrum Allocation Division which is part of the FCC's Office of Science and Technology (OST), formerly the Office of Chief Engineer. The paper discusses various query capabilities and output reports of the MFS system and its application as an aid in solving spectrum allocation problems.
