Interesting article about Brazilian railroads moving to satellite comms for the trains. Probably wouldn't be needed in the USA since there is a decent network in place

I really like the "primitive" nature of US rail comms. Can't get more simple than VHF simplex, and it can be monitored by those of us who are interested

With all the portugese/spanish over the US milsats I thought they were already on the air using satellites!
