Hi All, I came upon this very interesting podcast about communications satellite security since the 1980's. It runs for about 19 minutes, is fairly recent, and is very informative. Surely today, these communications satellites are more security protected than what is described in the podcast ? Let's all be careful with the design of such a ham radio system. Security has to be integrated.
Listen to "Satcom crackdown. After the show." https://toppodcast.com/podcast_feeds/signals-everywhere-after-the-show/

Oh my goodness
This podcast is so sensationalized with the sound effects and the voice actors playing anonymized informants
Military communications satelittes are probably more security protected today but there is no difference between these satellites and a ham radio satellite Uplink goes in, downlink goes out.
Provided the people in brazil have 2m / 70cm radios they could start using ham satellites unlicensed.
