Yup. I agree. Not the highest quality, but I'll put my MFJ paddle against
any paddle, no matter how expensive. The action is exquisitely light, and I
like that. If you like to push a 5 pound brass monster around, well, each to
his own taste.

MFJ makes stuff that the biggies can't be bothered with, and Mr. Sue has
done well.

Incidentally, my MFJ antenna switch is a dead ringer for a DAIWA. I'm almost
sure that it's the same unit. Anyone know???
