[Lowfer] 630m "activity" night

[John Langridge]

>Heard quite a bit of other activity, but missed the VE7s.

One of the issues with VE7 last night was the storms and gale-force winds
that those guys were experiencing.  Steve, VE7SL, commented many times
about the high level of lightning static as well as watching the scope
match dance around as the antennas blew around.  Several took time-outs due
to the wx.  There were some tense moments for sure.

Hopefully tonight will be even better for them.  I was able to work Steve
early on but only heard bits of Toby and never heard any of the others in
VE7...

Mitch, VE3OT, was nice and loud and a very easy QSO.

73 and looking forward to tonight!
