As many of you have heard by now, MFJ is ceasing its on-site production in Starkville, Mississippi on May 17, 2024. This is also the same for our sister companies’ Ameritron, Hygain, Cushcraft, Mirage and Vectronics. |

I guess now we'll have to come up with acronyms for all of the other radio equipment manufactures. |

I have cushcraft antennas, one is the R8 an HF vertical with every band from 40 to 6. I need to re assemble it and start using it again as I have plenty of HF radios to run on it. It got wacked in a windstorm, but I did get replacement parts from them last year for the bent parts.. Also have a small manual antenna tuner and it works well. The low cost chinese made amateur equipment works well at least the ones I have, maybe that was the problem. I have had the japenese equipment the longest and most all still work or were repairable and have excellet docs to fix them with. |

Seems to me that whoever is driving this "foreign" oversight or "foreign" just about everything, needs to re-read economics and manufacturing books on a full-scale. And while I wont post about leftist or rightist economics vs politics, both sides of the *economic* (not political) spectrum are leaning towards profit than product (and quality assurance). And based off of wisdom, profit does not sit lightly with me. Sure, it is a natural humanoid emotion, but tbh, its not wise. |
