[nrv-hams] Fwd: A Heavy Sad Heart

[Cam Coble]

Very sad.
I have relied on more than one MFJ product over the years, and despite what
how some people like to poke at them, they made LOTS of products that were
affordable and met the needs of ham stations around the world.
Just look at their catalog to see the diverse products that they produced.
It's honestly astounding.
Nevermind the other lines that are impacted like Amerititron and Hy-Gain.
Look for pricing to increase in the near future for these markets!
