NEW RADIO MAGAZINE TO LAUNCH

A new electronic publication,"The Spectrum Monitor", will follow the final issue
of Monitoring Times, a paper and electronic publication covering amateur, shortwave
and scanner-related topics which ceases publication after a thirty-three year run
following the retirement of its publisher, Bob Grove.

Managing editor Ken Reitz KS4ZR made the announcement in the November issue
of Monitoring Times.

“As the accolades poured in all readers -regardless of how long
they had been subscribers- expressed sadness and dismay at the closure of the
magazine. I came to believe there might be enough interest to warrant continuing
the publication in some other form. I took it upon myself to explore the possibility of a
follow-on magazine not connected with Monitoring Times or it’s publisher Grove Enterprises.”

The Spectrum Monitor will debut with the January 2014 issue on December 15, 2013
and will carry virtually all of the current Monitoring Times columnists and feature writers.

Reitz noted “These are the experts in all facets of radio who have helped make MT the
best full-spectrum magazine available and we are all excited about continuing our work
for the new publication.”

The Spectrum Monitor will be available only as an electronic publication in PDF format
which may be read on any desktop, laptop, iPad™, Kindle Fire™ or any other device
capable of opening a PDF file. Details on how to become a charter subscriber may be
found at www.thespectrummonitor.com .
