[Waverley ARS] Email address for Daniel VK2FDGW

[Adam Carmichael]

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the offer :) If we run into difficulty, we'll let you know.

As for a domain name being not as personal; well that's highly 
subjective - my nickname (carneeki) means more to me than my callsign 
does (which will change soon anyhow).

I just had an idea, I run my own colo system in a tier 2 datacentre in 
Sydney. I'd be happy to set up an additional local mirror.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Adam
