[GreenKeys] Questions about some signals on the air.

[Peter Gottlieb]

Encrypted signals aren't always...  Be interesting to log and see what 
slips through.  Or what is meant to "accidentally" get through.  The 
encryption is likely too sophisticated to waste any time playing with.  
A good decode every once in a while would be a nice treat.
