Get a free email address from email.radio

The email.radio website says,

email.radio is dedicated to providing free email hosting for all licensed ham radio operators (globally). You will get a (free!) email @email.radio address, that is 1GB, which you can ask to expand later on.

Unlike the ARRL forwarding service this appears to be a real email account. I’ve just applied for an address, and I’ll post here with my experience once I’ve got it.
