Our top story this week is the sale of Mirage and Ameritron to the Indiana company that acquired the Cushcraft and Hygain brands from MFJ Enterprises earlier this year. Mirage and Ameritron, who are known for their amplifiers, are to join the amateur radio portfolio of ITU Corporation. ITU's president, Dave Carpenter, posted both brands' logos on his profile page on the LinkedIn business platform, referring to their recent acquisition.
As Newsline went to production, the official statement was covered on Linton News, a local online Newspaper where ITU Corporation is located.
This past April, ITU announced it will return Hygain and Cushcraft brands to the marketplace by manufacturing them at a 15-acre property that is the former home of a National Guard Armory in Linton, Indiana. In a joint announcement that month, Dave and Kambi Carpenter, who own the electronics supply business TekShack, announced the deal with Martin Jue, K5FLU, who closed the business he founded in Starkville, Mississippi.
