While telling everyone that you are licensed and giving out your call sign is not normally problematic, I have been very reluctant to post my call sign on a public gun forum. Any person with limited knowledge of Ham Radio can find any number of call sign databases and have a little more information than I would like to post. Why not just post a sign in your front yard that says hey bad guys here is my real name, my address, and a list of firearms I own? With a little more digging on the forum they might just learn a little too much about your defense strategy or other personal details of benefit to a bad guy.
Am I a little paranoid or did the thought just not occur to anyone?
I'm pretty publicly known any way. No use in hiding..

I've got a buddy in the Clear Lake area that's in need of some advice regarding a VHF marine radio antenna. Might there be one of y'all nearby that he can contact ?
I just got my Technician ticket today.

I think they have gotten easier since I got mine, back then a code test was in order. I was using code to identify aviation navigation aids until my company received our new aircraft, now the navaids are automatically decoded. So now what little I remember is going to fade.
I love the sound smell of jet fuel in the morning.
Fat thumbs + IPhone = errors, please forgive.
You'd better hide that Colt.
