An additional newbe question

[Big Dog]

What personal info is available through a call sign? Just curious, thank you.

Very basically, name, address/location, class of license, and issue/expiration date. From there you can add a 'brag-tape', picture, autobiography, or almost anything, sort of.

How hard is it to acces that info? Thanks

It's not difficult. The basic info is public, go to QRZ.com.

How to access it? Quick-n-dirty way is to go to the top of this page, on the right, the empty block next tot he CallSign button. Type in a call sign (use mine, it doesn't hurt). Hit the CallSign button and you go to the 'QRZ' site and see my information. It isn't exactly 'exact', it's kind'a dated, and the Google map is only off by about 1/2 mile or so, give ot take a 1/4 mile, or so, kind'a. It's a 'pain' to 'up-date' so I don't bother. It's close enough for government work. Oh well, whatever.

Thanks, I was wondering how to get a QSL sent without giving your info on the air.

QSL INFO

BD: You might also want to join the eQSL service. You might find the Ham already on file with them...get your QSL confirmation quick and easy. I ran out of printed cards 4 or 5 years ago and never reordered....(probably should)...but great service anyway!
You can join and use the service free!
I over time when eQSLing for dx contacts overseas did become a GOLD member and I also updated to AG status (upload your ticket to their database)to confirm my call and AD info(very simple really and worth the effort)
This makes your eQSL good for the awards programs to other HAMS...both on eQSL and CQ awards.
Just my 2 cents worth...I do love wallpaper!
All the Best
