[MilCom] Brazilian Air Force-ALE

Tue Apr 1 16:22:24 2003

All,

Today caught some Brazilian Air Force ALE on 17982.0. I'm including the logs 
so you can see what it actually looks like. They wer up in SSB voice also but 
they were too weak for me to copy well.

Did a little research on the Brazilian Air Force web site. Seems the founder 
of the Brazilian Air Force was a Maj. Hermes de Fonseca. Several BAF sqdns 
fly the C-95 Bandeirante aircraft, the 5th, 6th and 15th Aero Transport 
Sqdns.  Also the one of the famous Brazilian Air Force songs is " Bandeirante 
do Ar". 

One of our South American listeners has also logged these guys on 17982 & 
9010.0
