Note major drop in 1979.

What was the reason for the major drop? Did the red cap program address MFA's as well?

I believe that was when the ERS "No Contact - No Response" began.
If a box was activated with no voice or sound contact made, there was no response.
I think it was limited to certain hours initially and later expanded to all hours.
