[Elecraft] OT: BIZARRE OFFERING FROM MFJ

[Buddy Brannan]

I met Mr. MFJ, K5FLU, once as well, at the 100th ARRL anniversary do. Wait…Think it was there, although it could have as easily been another time, like Hamcomm a bazillion years ago. Anyway, as others have said, a gentleman in very sense. Soft spoken, well spoken, as ‘American as you or I. Oh wait. … I’m also half Asian, on my mother’s side, so…umm...
