Just so you guys are aware, posting your call sign means anyone can find out your address and full name.

In Canada you can email Industry Canada and request that your address be hidden from view.
Apparently you can't do this in the US?

This is true but maybe you should edit your post to take out the direct link so the pirates have to work harder to get our personal information. You can also do PO Box addresses in the US.

In another forum I just went in later and edited out my actual call sign.

Edited the URL, but the fact remains QRZ is not the only place to access the FCC Call Sign DB, just a common entry point. It's public information and just wanted people to be aware of that.

I wish I had done my PO box on my license application for the very reasons you stated. Oh Well....

Why not just submit a change of address (to your PO box)?

I plan to one of these days......

I'm not really worried about it though. It's so easy to find somebody if you really want to.

That's what I did with mine. It shows a blank address.

Just pointing it out to new hams. It's each person's decision on what the ramifications of it might be.

 

[RoundOut]

Forum viewable by members only?

Is this forum only accessible to members or generally available? Hopefully, there are no axe murderers among us.

If it is generally available, maybe it could be made members-only by one of the moderators.
