Hamming it up: Cub Scout's radio interest leads to company, success
STARKVILLE - Martin Jue can trace the entire course of his life back to one day.
He was an 8-year-old Cub Scout, living in the Mississippi Delta town of Hollandale, and took part in a group activity where he learned how to build a radio. Little did Jue know this one activity would change his life.
Jue was enamored with the way the device functioned and went on to become a ham radio operator in high school, talking with other "hams" around the world and perfecting his knowledge of Morse code. He went off to college and earned bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering, from Mississippi State University and Georgia Tech, respectively, and eventually began his own ham radio manufacturing operation.
