[IRCA] Newfoundland report and question re WFED

[Chernos Saul <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Last few nights have been decent to Brazil, also some Argetina and Brazil. So-so to Europe and Asia, though we've just discovered our Euro wire somewhat astray and broken in one spot, likely due to an animal smaller than the moose which we often worry about here. That will get fixed in the early morning Friday. Band on the Brazil wire two to three deep in stations to the south.
 
Have had a few things on 1500, and in particular note the absence of WFED DC. The other east coast and midwest US clears pop in from time to time or are more dominant. We know WFED was off a few evenings ago - has this continued, or is WFED on some kind of reduced or altered power/pattern?
 
Kinda neat pulling in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, with no huge trouble from Cuba or Venezuela. Prime time seems to get underway around 0300 UTC.
 
Still, a few good catches from east over the pond. I completed my collection of the Azores this eve with 100-watt AFRTS station on 1503.
