> My ex's father commanded a US Navy HFDF station in Natal Brazil   
> during WW 2. He?said they had good success in taking bearings on U   
> Boats that would surface to communicate. The bearings were   
> approximate but gave enough info for aircraft and surface craft to   
> search for and sometimes find and sink U Boats in the area. I had no  
>  idea that there was sea combat around Brazil in WW 2 but I read up   
> on it and there was due to the large amounts of strategic raw   
> materials shipped out from there.
