MEET THE OWNER OF VIBROPLEX    I’m Scott Robbins, W4PA.  I purchased The Vibroplex Company, Inc. on December 21, 2009 from Felton "Mitch" Mitchell, W4OA, who had owned the business for the previous 15 years.      I was first licensed in 1982.  I’m a lifelong avid CW operator, with interest in CW contesting in particular.  Before taking over ownership of Vibroplex, I was employed at the Atlanta branch store of Ham Radio Outlet in 1994 and 1995, and then moved to Ten-Tec at the end of 1995.  In 1997, I was promoted to Product Manager for Amateur Radio equipment at Ten-Tec, a job I held until I left at the end of 2009 to take over ownership of Vibroplex.      My personal philosophy of producing and selling a product is relatively simple:  Understand how your products are used, and by whom, and offer a quality item to fit that need at a reasonable price.      Vibroplex is now in our 108th year in business, having been formed by Horace Martin, inventor of the semi-automatic (“bug”) morse code key in 1905.  I am proud to carry on this fine tradition in the 21st century.  Please feel free to call or email, I’m always pleased to hear from hams near and far about CW, Vibroplex, and Amateur Radio in general.   (865) 309-5073 or vibroplex@vibroplex.com
