Martin Jue Interview
#1
Here's a link to an interview with MFJ's founder, Martin Jue.  In it he talks about the history of MFJ & responds to some of the hard-to-answer questions about their reputation for poor quality control.

I doubt we have a member who has nothing from MFJ in their shack.  Martin Jue K5FLU is the great-grandson of one of the legion of Chinese men brought to the US to build the transcontinental railroad.  He started building ham accessories in Starkville, MS about 50 years ago, and MFJ has become the largest ham equipment manufacturer - by a large margin.  MFJ provides employment to a lot of local folks who might otherwise not be able to find work.  He has bought up and kept in business several brands which would otherwise be gone, like Ameritron, HyGain, Cushcraft & Mirage.

I've spoken to Martin at Dayton.  He's a real nice guy, seemingly always on duty at the MFJ booth.
