MFJ Enterprises, founded in 1972, is a manufacturer of a broad range of products for the Amateur radio industry. They specialize in station accessories such as antenna tuners and antenna switching equipment.
MFJ's product line is large enough that they produce an annual catalog totalling nearly 90 pages. Their ever increasing line of products are regularly found in the "what's new" sections of QST Magazine[1] (published by the American Radio Relay League for over 90 years) and CQ Amateur Radio[2] (published for over 60 years).
The initials "MFJ" in the company name are those of the founder, Martin F. Jue (ham radio callsign K5FLU). Because it focuses on low-cost gear rather than focusing on high quality, the acronym is also commonly referred to as "Mighty Fine Junk".
[edit] Subsidiaries
MFJ owns four subsidiary companies:
- Ameritron
- Hy-Gain
- Mirage
- Vectronics
