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?

In this case I would say no one have any information about this call sign on
his page or there wasn't enough time for search engines to find it.
Any person who have takes any information about call signs, names, etc. in
connection of a person in his page and any search engines will be able to
found this periodical and write it to the database.

Regards

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???

Sorry about any confusion because of user ID but I was using my daughters
computer. Thought I had it set up to give my name. 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.)

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.

Do you have your employer send your paycheck as a postcard
form so everyone can see it? How about test results from your
proctologist/brain surgeon?

Yikes! Your brain surgeon is a proctologist ? !


Sorry, couldn't resist.

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.

All I found was your full name and address.
