for $70 a year you can get a small PO Box at the post office. I have
all my important mail sent to the PO Box

So here’s what I did, after consulting a few non-ham expat friends
who’ve had to solve this same problem for other reasons. I made an
account with https://anytimemailbox.com <https://anytimemailbox.com>
and got a normal address here in Cypress, where they will either allow
me to pick mail up, or they’ll scan it and send me an email, or access
it via a snazzy website. I’m still waiting for my information to
clear, but for $10/month, I feel like this is a good way to go.
I’ll update the group if I have a bad experience.

Traditionally (forever!!) hams have hade the address or contact
information listed
Because we traded QSL CARDS which came in the mail… It was a real
thrill to get a mailbox full of cards
from other hams in strange far away places… We got yearly CALLBOOKS
the size of giant phone books
every year so we had everyone’s current information.. I remember when
I first got licensed I rushed out
and bought the next callbook so I could see my info in print (before
the internet)
In the past 10 years or so, we have had increasing more and more hams
that are AFRAID to publish
The address or phone numbers… We have built into our BVARC member
database provisions of
Those that want to chicken out on phone number and / or address.. I
really think this is a shame though.
With a ham license, there really isn’t a way to hide your info
anyway.. you can be looked up on the fcc
Webpages, or qrz, or any number of other sources… SO WHY HIDE??
For the most part only other hams
Know about this stuff.. your average crook has no clue.
Just my 2cents

I really want to be able to use my callsign in public forums, etc.,
but I’m not keen on anyone being able to therefore look up my home
address. I know it’s available fairly easily through fairly
conventional methods, but I just don’t want to add another route. I
want to be able to have something like a Po Box registered with the
FCC on my license, that forwards all mail sent to the PO Box to my
actual mailing (physical) address.
Has anyone else solved this problem? A cursory search of the internet
shows RV forwarding services and stuff, but wouldn’t this also be an
easy, paid subscription I should be able to sign up for with ARRL,
like my arrl.net email address?
I appreciate you all.
