  • It's field trip time. Join us as we head to Starkville, MS to tour MFJ Enterprises. We were also given the tour of Hy-Gain, Ameritron, Cushcraft, Mirage, and Vectronics. It is amazing everything that MFJ does.

    Really Liked The Tour.
    Thanks Steve.
    Thankful Martin & his company are still using local residents to build equipment while also using the required technology to fab some parts.

      Yeah. It is great that he employs so many local folks. We got to sit and chat for well over an hour with Martin, great guy!

    Thanks for the tour. Everytime I see footage of MFJ I am startled at the bare bones work space. I have purchased their antenna analyzer, the window coax pass thru board and a few portable antennas. All good stuff...

      Yeah. It’s just the tools needed at each station. Some things they came up with on their own to use for specific needs. Thanks for watching.

    Outstanding behind the scenes look at MFJ! I think @TheSmokinApe needs one of this toroid winding machines!

    Hi Steve,
    That was a nice tour. A lot of soldering irons in use. You, Cyndi, and Jherica stay safe. 73 WJ3U

      Not all of it. It may be ASSEMBLED in the USA, but some of the stuff is either made overseas or made with overseas parts. Made in the USA or not, most of the MFJ stuff is still junk.
