You're all showing on QRZ here Chris.
The moderators on there are just like here, all volunteers freely giving their own time (I had a really helpful Spanish Radio Amateur set up mine who was thrilled when I gave him thanks.)
You can edit your account to show as much or less detail as you like, (you seem to be on full show at the moment).
At least you'll keep some of the old Hams happy who'll address you by name before you've even introduced yourself!

Yeah, sad days when you can't put your full address up in public for fear of someone using it for nefarious reasons! Not that anyone paper QSLs nowadays, (I think some do though).
Well done with your Ham Radio QSOs, bet you were well chuffed!
Best of luck with it all Chris, you stuck at it and are now justly rewarded.
All the best, Victor

It's been forever since I joined, but I vaguely remember having to send my license and ID. Didn't really have an issue with, as it's nice knowing there are no fake profiles, and you don't need to put your full address online once registered. I just use nearest city.
