[Scan-DC] (no subject)

[Tom Thomas]

I agree with you about the widespread use of encryption.  The main reason
why encryption is spreading like wildlife is due to www.radioreference.com.
Anybody with a computer or cell phone can listen in. I honestly think that
if it wasn’t for that website then use of encryption would not be as
widespread.
