BVARC Roster - Discussion: Bvarc provides a roster of current and recently expired members on the bvarc.org website. 1.) ease of contacting other members. 2.) ease to see when or if you are about to expire.
BVARC also provides a list of members that are Board members as well as lists of members that have won awards in the past. As well as a list of silent keys (SK). (on the who is page) A public roster is pretty standard in Ham radio (callbooks, QRZ website, FCC lookup) and in the past, BVARC even used to post roster info in some of the early newsletters ( before there was a website ) Recently with the digital age some concerns about privacy have come up. Our membership roster can currently display records PUBLICLY NO PHONE or NO LIST AT ALL (this lists name and call only with no address or phone) But another idea has been to make the Roster Password protected so only members with the correct password can see the roster. Currently only the ADMINS can see the entire unrestricted member list (password protected) but the general public can see the slightly restricted current roster. My personal opinion is not many people even know the roster is there, (it isnt used much) and if we had a member password no one would remember it. I would love to hear what the general membership thinks about this.
