Several sources agree that the end of Monitoring Times is also the end of Grove Enterprises. Along with working for some very nice people there, I had the frequent (if expensive) pleasure of talking to them about radio purchases.

That hole will not include this blog. It will be renamed, given a skin other than the one I picked to look like the other MT blogs, and hopefully updated more often.
