[Premium-Rx] New member introduction

[Cecil Acuff]

Welcome Matt,

        I have a 17 year old Son who has always shown an interest in 
cryptology.  He has talked of working for NSA or the like.  I don't know 
much about all that and what type of career ops are out there.  He's a smart 
kid and doing well in advanced math.

He also has a keen interest in receivers and has his own Lowe HF-225 Europa. 
Not premium by our definition but not a bad radio for a teenage boy.  Wish 
my Dad had put me into as nice a radio at that age....(1971)

He listens mostly to numbers stations etc...

Anyway...again welcome to the list....
