[OZAPRS] Changes to 'first.aprs.net.au'

[Ray Wells]

Geoff,

Many thanks from the entire Oz APRS community for your invaluable 
contribution to APRS. You've obviously had an impact on the 
international scene as well because dixprs (Python based igate/digi 
cross-platform software) provides for BOM bulletins.

Enjoy your break.
