MSF is a radio callsign, and not an abbreviation. 'M' is one of the prefixes allocated to the United Kingdom, and the letters 'SF' were randomly allocated. However, Post Office staff that operated the station in 1951 insist that the name derives from the Modulated Standard Frequency scientific reference transmissions started in that year.
