@Sendpicsofsandwiches@colinstu the dominant Ham demographic is one that has traditionally not needed to be concerned much about their information being publicized, and doesn’t see why anyone else should care. (I was reluctant to get licensed until I learned I could use a PO Box as the address.)
But don’t you need to continually pay for that po box after that? Which a po box still isn’t a horrible solution, but it seems silly that yiu have to do that
@Sendpicsofsandwiches I already had it and use it for other purposes. That they accept a PO Box shows that the need for an address is a bit of an anachronism especially since they don’t even mail the paper license anymore
Stop exposing ham operator’s full name and address to google from just their callsign
@Sendpicsofsandwiches @emilvolk 100% yeah. Not being doxx’d asap would be great. Zero interest in the meantime.
Too bad WHOIS privacy/protection never came to HAM?
That’s literally the only thing keeping me out of Ham Radio, and I’m surprised that there’s not more pushback about it
