[MilCom] SATCOM PIRATES

[Larry Van Horn]

While I can't comment with any specifics what the pirates in Brazil use/used 
when they were busted some time back, there was a case here in the US last 
August and the equipment used was mentioned in the FCC press release. You 
can read about that on the Milcom blog at 
http://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/2010/08/milsatcom-pirate-busted-here-in-us.html.

You can find a list of downlink/uplink freqs at 
http://milsatcom.tripod.com/uhf_milsats/all_satellites.html
You can learn more about military UHF Tacsat/DAMA ops (including freqs) at

You can find specific information on UHF satellite freqs in Europe at

Have fun and good hunting
