Protect your callsign details from being used for postal adverts!

If you have a new (or old) callsign you may not be aware that the personal details you register with OFCOM are freely available from various databases around the world.

A UK company “UK Amateur Mailing” sells this information so that licence holders can be sent mail shots by companies involved in the hobby.

The Radio Society of Great Britain is a customer of this company and their commercial manager (Mark Allgar M1MPA) advises that RSGB will soon be sending out a mail shot to promote RSGB membership.

It is possible to have your details removed from this mailing list by going to http://www.ukamateurmailing.co.uk/ and completing their opt out form. Alternatively ring 07847 118121 and leave your details.
