[RSM] MFJ Ceasing Production

[Cary Rubenfeld]

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
