CALL SIGN LOOKUP
Is ther anyway you cna prevent your call sign from being looked up on the
internet. I ask because when I google my call sign all the expected info is found but when I google someone elses(just one call) I find nothing to their idenity. IS it possible to block this information? |
A ham callsign?
Online info is a good thing, saves you the effort of giving out your address if you want to get a QSL from the bloke you're working. Why would you want to block your info ... something to hide??? jw k9rzz |

All that means is that you have posted to newsgroups, and the people that haven't don't get caught by Google. Google only can search for someone who would have published something. You can't stop that kind of finding. If you published, Google will find you. If not, it won't. Henry WA0GOZ PS Try my callsign.

All I found was your full name and address.

Nothing to hide. Read what you snipped. I was just trying to figure out why I could not get this information on some else who says he has been a ham for a while. I plugged in his call sign in google and did not get the usuall information back from a callsign data base. First time this has happened to me. Was I talking to someone with a bogus call. |

Question mark? Try this: http://www.qrz.com/detail/XNZZZ ^^^^^...inserting the callsign. If the reply is "The callsign XNZZZ was not found on our server.", then the callsign was either never issued or expired A LONG TIME AGO. Elsewise, just entering the callsign in Google will only reflect how "busy" the op is on the web, in usenet, .... and/or in contests. (I find my call often in contest logs that folks feel a need to post on web sites....) I'm sure there are some grizzled olde (active) op's that have never owned or used a computer (not even a Commodore 64), and whose existance could not be proven by Google. (Google usually does not index the pages given up by other "look-up" engines such as QRZ.COM and BUCK.COM.)

Hi Henry
Can I ask a disassociated question concerning Search Engines? If so, here is my question. Most ISP subscribers have a home page usually named Index.html from this page they place links to their other pages stored at the website. OK, Google can find all of these no problem. But, if you place pages on the website that are not linked to your Index page that requires the person accessing your web site area to know the word or name to type behind the actual URL to get to this hidden web page, can Google find that page? The reason I ask is that I have certain pages that are accessable only to those who need to know and know what to type behind the URL to get them to come up. To the best of my knowledge, none of these hidden pages (not linked to the Index page) have ever been picked up by Google. Naturally these types of pages bring up the directory instead of the home page if you click the back button, but the directory only shows a link to parent directory and clicking on that automatically brings up the index page, so the directory showing the hidden files supposedly cannot be seen. How safe is this method? And can Google find it? TTUL Gary |

You can make sure that Google doesn't list it even if it does find it by putting META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX" between the head/head tags. Rob |

Rob However, scumbag crackers will continue to probe around in websites -- looking for any un-linked pages you may have. And, neither robots.txt, nor META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX" will deter them. Lately I've seen *concerted* probing efforts in my cgi-bin directory -- for things like contact.cgi, eforms.cgi, kontakt.pl, order.cgi, u.s.w. All 'live' scripts found at _other_ web sites no doubt. (I've already honey-potted the 'usual' scripts -- such as formmail.pl) You can use .htaccess to restrict access to _just_ those ip's that you wish to have access to the web pages. .htaccess is a server-side control that the crackers can't (well, can't easily....) get around. I use .htaccess and deep(er), totally bizzare sub-directory names to try to prevent cracker access to some things. Of course, you need to turn off directory indexing, too. And, avoid IIS... But, what do/did either of these topics have to do with antennas? 73 Jonesy -- | Marvin L Jones | jonz | W3DHJ | linux | Gunnison, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | OS/2 __ | 7,703' -- 2,345m | config.com | DM68mn SK |

So, as an experiment, I entered into Google the callsign my dad (The First W3DHJ) last held before he became a SK nearly 6 years ago. He was semi-active on packet radio about 5 years before his death. But, AFAIK, he was never on the internet. The only hit I got was deep down in the "available callsigns' lists" hosted at http://sattrackhouston.com/vanity.htm So, even at that, I guess you'd call that a "non-specific hit" -- since it was not about him, but rather about an amateur callsign he once held. 73 Jonesy -- | Marvin L Jones | jonz | W3DHJ | linux | Gunnison, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | OS/2 __ | 7,703' -- 2,345m | config.com | DM68mn SK |
