In 1972, he began his startup company, MFJ, which now manufactures
more amateur radio products than any other company in the world. In
2007 and 2012, the company was named the Oktibbeha Industry of the
Year. The company began operations in a small rented hotel room in the
old Stark Hotel in downtown Starkville, Mississippi.
The company began marketing its products in October of 1972. The first
product was a high selectivity audio filter that would enable a
receiver to separate one Morse code signal from scores of other
signals that were being transmitted over the radio airwaves.
