Past Frequency Coordinators for Michigan APCO

	Michigan Public Safety
	FREQUENCY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MPSFAC - Serving Michigan RF Spectrum Users Since 1946

The Michigan Public Safety Frequency Advisory Committee (MPSFAC) has assisted coordination efforts since 1946. In the beginning, the Committee served as advisors to eligible entities seeking to acquire a radio license from the FCC for local government and public safety radio systems. At that time approval or approval of MPSFAC was one of the three options the FCC would consider before granting a license. As more and more radio systems were implemented, coordination between units of government became more and more complex. After all, radio signals do not honor township, village, city, county or state border lines.
Thus, spectrum congestion and increasing demand for public radio systems grew dramatically. So, the FCC eventually delegated frequency coordination to specialized agencies which in turn appointed frequency coordinators state-by-state. The following individuals have served as the Frequency Coordinator in Michigan. Names are listed by date of service beginning June 1946.
