Piraja, PS8RF, has contacted us in response to an article that we carried on Monday regarding Brazilian satellite pirates.

The matter published in this online computer magazine dedicated to issues of radio amateurs, has been lightly posted by Fernando, EC1AME - see http://www.southgatearc.org/news/march2009/

Mandatory stop for anyone looking for news on the area of amateur radio. This can not be regarded means of criticism among radio amateurs lightly.

I speak in defense of Brazilian radio amateurs that as I struggle for improvement and development of amateur radio band here in Brazil.

In no time the reports disclosed by Brazilian Television to give people who used the American military system are radio amateurs. Even the Brazilian federal police, did not disclose names. It is known that only 20 warrants were met by the Federal Police and ANATEL - Brazilian Agency of Telecommunications.

Therefore not been characterized using the American satellite by Brazilians ham radio but for which illegal as any other illegal activity is not compromise with the laws.

Thanks
