So what does "Moj Them" mean?

A VISIT TO SANGEAN.
[Actually, I've just returned from a one-week visit to Taiwan. My wife,
son, and I were there, during my son's spring break, to visit my inlaws.)
The week did include a couple of trips up to Taipei. The first was to the
headquarters on Sangean. They are down to one building in Taiwan, with
most of their manufacturing now in China. About eighty people are still
involved in manufacturing at the Taipei facility, engaged in final finish
to products mostly assembled in China.
Sangean leadership is obviously concerned about the future of SW, and of
radio in general. They are already established in the manufacture of DAB
receivers in the U.K., but the growth of DAB in Europe is slow and
uncertain. Expect Sangean also to be active in HD Radio, the U.S. version
of digital radio.
Sangean is working on a DRM receiver. It will use the same case as the
Roberts Gemini 1 DAB radio in the U.K. This has a nice rectangular display
that can be used for the pictures and text that can be transmitted along
with DRM audio. But a Sangean official mentioned software problems, so it
could be several months before we see this standalone DRM radio for sale
in the United States.
I suggested that Sangean produce a version of its ATS-909 with a 12 kHz IF
output, patch cord, and CD with DRM software. I'm not sure if they took
this seriously.
In this age of personal computers, wide-screen high-definition
televisions, and iPods, I can't help but cheer for one of the few
companies that still takes radios (other than car radios) seriously:
portable radios, table radios, retro radios, under-counter radios.
