Paulo, all PPE is managed by the Divisão Serviço de Hora Certa (Corrected Time Service Departament) of Observatório Nacional in Rio.
A bit more details about the TX, antenna and frequencies can be seen here: http://pcdsh01.on.br/RadioDifusaoSinaisHorarios.html They also broadcast in VHF, which I believe is focused to maritime users and some commercial customers (Radio Relogio 580/4905 and phone carriers come to mind). PY4ZBZ Roland did some measurements when they reactivated the station few years ago. He found PPE uses AM with the LSB-supressed with the carrier a bit off-frequency.
