MFJ Stopping Production

[FlatlandBusa]

MFJ will be stopping all production in Starkville MS May 17. This is a huge bummer! A mountain of radio products are no longer going to be available.

Lol, great minds think alike, or at least a semi functional mind here.

Lock this thread if you like, I didn't realize this was a dupe.

A Heavy Sad Heart​ Dear Fellow Hams and Friends,​ April 25, 2024 Dear Fellow Hams and Friends, It is with a sad heart as I write this letter. 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. Times have changed since I started this business 52 years ago. Our product line grew and grew and prospered. Covid changed everything in businesses including ours. It was the hardest hit that we have ever had and we never fully recovered. I turned 80 this year. I had never really considered retirement but life is so short and my time with my family is so precious. I want to thank all of our employees who have helped build this company with me over the years. We have many employees who have made MFJ their career for 10, 20, 30, 40 and more years. We are going to continue to sell MFJ products past May 17, 2024. We have a lot of stock on hand. We will continue to offer repair service work for out-of-warranty and in-warranty units for the foreseeable future. Finally, a special thanks to all of our customers and our dealers who have made MFJ a worldwide name and a profitable business for so many years. You all are so much appreciated. Sincerely Yours, 73s Martin F. Jue, K5FLU ​ ​ ​ ​ Copyright © *2024* *MFJ Enterprises, Inc.*, All rights reserved.

Sad to hear about this...so place your orders for spares.

Nothing lasts forever. They did have their niche in the marketplace.

I was just thinking that MFJ took over the Hy Gain Super Penetrator SPT-500 so there might end up being a shortage of them coming up soon. Better grab one while you can. just thinking if someone doesn't buy it out.

What is that antenna called

What is that antenna called

Moxon. It's essentially a simple but effective 2 element beam.

 

[S&W357]

It’s a MFJ-1890 Moxon beam. 12’ wide and 55” boom. It is for 10 meters but can be adjusted for 11 meters. I’ve got it adjusted for 10 meters.

I’ve got a rotor for it but too lazy thus far to hook it up. I’ve got vice grips on the mast pipe. I just turn it where the DX is coming from.

Moxon,
I think a couple guys here have built them @HomerBB maybe?

I'm looking at a beam from Cooper Electronics I think it's called the Shooting Star, but it has to wait until I get out of this Stinking valley and town. Of coarse I'll probably will need a tower and rotor to go with it. Hope I'm not to old by the time I get out of here and have no one to help erect it. Old age isn't gentle on the Bod ! LOL

Vise Grips isn't that bad of a compromise. LOL
