     FCC records are available from the	US National  Techni-
     cal Information Service in	three forms:

       1.  Microfiche -	catalog	PR-718-1 contains all of the
	   FCC	datafiles  that	 are available on microfiche
	   from	NTIS.

       2.  Magnetic tape - catalog PR-718-2 contains all  of
	   the	FCC datafiles that are available on magnetic
	   tape	from NTIS.  EBCDIC tapes are available in  7
	   track  1600	bpi,  and 9 track 800, 1600, or	6250
	   bpi.

       3.  5.25" floppy	diskette in ASCII format, compatible
	   with	 the  IBM-PC.	I  don't  think	a catalog is
	   available yet, so call the NTIS if interested  in
	   floppies.

     Call the NTIS at  (703)254-7160  for  the	catalogs  or
     other information.

     I think microfiche	is the cheapest	media,	cheaper	 yet
     if	 you buy the set Bob Grove sells at about $150.	 The
     magnetic tape version is available	from NTIS  for	over
     $7200.00!
