I am curious about the inclusion of your e-mail address without any
attempt to keep spam-bots from purloining it, thereby risking inundation
with spam?

This is the one reason many posters use an alias and no e-mail address --
also to avoid harassment should some nut get offended by your posts.

Also your FCC license number change. Perhaps I am showing my
ignorance (most likely), but does your FCC number change as you progress
to higher levels, did it expire and was reissued, or is your call sign a
vanity sign?

Callsign allotment can be found at QRZ.com http://www.qrz.com/index.html
Look under DETAILED INFORMATION then CODE to determine vanity calls etc.

P.S. QRZ now lists Ham e-mail addresses in picture form (jpg or bitmap) to
foil the spam-bots.


An amateur does not have to change calls as they upgrade.
One may first obtain a Tech license and receive a 2x3 sequential call sign.
e.g. KA#AAA
Should they upgrade to a higher license, they may elect to retain their
original call.
