Dear friends, 
thanks for your kind help!
Yes, you can send your donation to Dan, K8RF as well. He is on VP5
untill
next week. I will let you know his postal/ bank details soon.
If you want to send donation direct to me over here, please
send it as International Money Order or e-mail your Credit card details.
For small amounts (up to lets say $5) you can send the cash.
Our postal service is the world best, I don't think it would be a
problem. 
Once again, thank you very much.
NIck, VK2ICV / VK9LX
