With a lifetime in the Hobby I have acquired many many antennas including
Cushcraft and Hy Gain. Knowing that they will still be available for parts and purchase
is important to me. We have lost many names in Ham Radio keeping these two is a win.

 

Hmm…

If they were a Bidet manufacturer:

Maybe Tush Craft and High Groin would be nice.

Sorry, I just had to do it.

 

Hey KF2ZZ
I'll bet your are "flush with pride" on that one.

73's.

 

Now that is GOOD NEWS!!!! Now at least the competition is back. As stated above, lets hope the QC is back. Congratulations to ITU.

 

Hopefully they keep the rotor production going too

I bit a new Hy-Tower , will cost over two grand, but maybe they'll use some good insulators!!

 

He'll make more money selling individually. That's all he cares about.

 

Glad to hear this hopefully someone can buy and start making the Ameritron amps and other equipment too!!

 

It didn't occur to me to buy a Hy-Tower until they were unobtainium. Hopefully, I can procure one plus the 160m add-on before next winter. As we head into the lull period between cycles, the low bands will be the place to be.

 

It's his to sell and do with what he wants.

I'm reminded of a cartoon in the New Yorker, years ago. A guy is sitting on an examination table in a doctor's office. The doctor is on the phone.

The caption is: "I'm not sure how we'll pay for junior's education. I'll think of something."

The guy on the table of course, is wondering what he just came down with.

If someone hit Martin's number, good for both of them. If Martin wanted it to stay in the USA, great. If Martin woke up in a good mood, great. Whatever, it's his to sell, and others to carry the torch. Some carry the torch and do well, others have more difficulties, like TenTec.

Keep HAM radio ativity alive!

 

Will Hy-Gain be making the Fartin' AVQ vertical? That's an old one from way back when I first was licensed.

 

Very good news to that HyGain and Cushcraft products will still be around.

HF beams and verticals, VHF beams and verticals, antenna rotators, etc. Good news all the way around. Hopefully the new owners will be able to undo the Mississippi’s Finest Junk reputation.

I wish the new owners the best of luck and I look forward to supporting them with purchases in the near future.

 

I have a room and yard full of MFJ products. One piece, 98C still wrangling SWR.
