RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Effectively yes. You are required to identify your station by callsign every 10 minutes on the air, and your callsign is a matter of public record. It's how the likes of the ARRL suddenly knows how to mail you shit when you get your license. The only encrypted transmission on the amateur bands that's legal is control signals for satellites.
If you have a pilot's license or own an airplane your name is similarly on a registry of public record.
It is a good reason not to post your callsign on the internet. I am an amateur radio operator, you will not learn my callsign.
Yes.
