REC Networks has finished the largest "mass run" project in our history. REC has been able to download and locally store most of the import letters from CDBS. Import letters are those correspondence from the FCC to applicants regarding specific applications or their facility in general. These import letters also contain the history cards.
With the completion of this project, we now have 93,575 PDF import letters stored on the System40 server. They can be retrieved through their records at FCCdata. This represents 97.2 percent of all known import letters. The remaining could not be obtained due to FCC issues experienced on multiple attempts to retrieve the documents. From previous mass run projects, we do have "text only" versions of an additional 1,017 import letters.
Overall, the REC Radio History Project has preserved 98.3 percent of all known import letter records from CDBS. While some of these records are also available at the FCC's LMS, there are many that did not make the move to LMS.
