It was in 1918 in the Good Old Spark Days when Carl Mosley W0FQY became a ham. At this time the counterpoise... an unwieldy maze of wires had been conceived as a most advanced ground system. Now today the TA-33-M and other ham antennas created by Mosley Electronics, Inc. are the DX' ers dream.
The Mosley Story
The story of Mosley Electronics, Inc. began reasonably early in the history "The Old Man" - Carl E. Mosley - W0FQY, K0AXS of radio, in the late 1930's early 1940's, when Mosley began making adapters for the 3/4" tube socket used extensively by amateurs at this time. The company name at this time was Mosley Electronic Specialties. Within a few months the business, which was operated from the Mosley basement, increased to the point where outside help was needed to tem the flood of orders.
It was at this time TV stations were being built over the entire country resulting in a need for TV installation accessories such as feed-thru insulators, wall outlets, and plugs. These items Mosley produced for the public, helping supply the growing need for commercially built TV accessories.
In 1958 the Citizens Band was introduced necessitating the development of CB antennas. Mosley Electronics, Inc. put amateur radio antenna experience to good use by introducing a new quality line of antennas designed for the CB' er. In 1962, Mosley Electronics, Inc. became located in West St. Louis County. It was around this time Mosley began producing another line of antennas -- business band antennas.
Decade after decade Mosley has lead the way in design and innovation. Present day, Mosley continues this tradition put forth some 70+ years ago by the Mosley family.
In 1951, Mosley began manufacturing the famous 'Vest Pocket' ham antenna. It was this year the company was incorporated under the name of Mosley Electronics, Inc. with Carl E. Mosley as president; and the factory was situated in Saint Louis. Later military and industrial antennas such as the WWV antenna for receiving time signals were developed adding another line to the already growing list of products produced by Mosley. About 1955, the incomparable 'Trap Master' TA-33 amateur beam was introduced becoming the standard by which all Tri-Band beams would be measured.
In 1998, the Amateur division was moved to a new facility in Union, Missouri. Over seven decades of quality know how and attention to detail.
