Simple fix guys... change your license to reflect a PO Box as your address... Of course then you could still get mugged at your PO box... 73 Mike Perryman www.k5jmp.us

Please read it again. I said the number of cars WITHOUT call plates and antennas could be counted on both hands. I thought this was NEAT! As far as cars and rigs: Theives can steal anything they want out of a car. Cars aren't secure in the slightest. (I've had my Jeep broken into three times, trust me.) I've known hams who've had call plates and radios in all their vehicles for over 40 years who have never had a problem, and I know hams who've hidden everything in their cars and had rigs ripped off. It's not predictable that call plates mean anything in how thieves pick their targets. In fact, it probably has a lot more to do with WHERE you park your vehicle than anything else. All of my breakins were within three blocks of a bus station and a homeless shelter. Outside of my time working in that area of town, I've never had a problem. The opportunity costs lost to paying for rig insurance must be worth the convenience of getting it replaced anytime to you, or you run your risks and take your chances, just like everything else in life. And the standard financial/fiscal rule applies: Buy assets, not liabilities, whenever possible. Anyway, this isn't repeater related anymore... The FCC posts all of our addresses publically -- one of the risks we take of being hams. The FAA long ago allowed pilots to remove their public information -- The FCC doesn't appear to want to do it.
