You can go to the FCC's website and get a list of every currently valid callsign, and then from there get the name and listed address associated with the callsign. Your information is already public if you're licensed, so it doesn't concern me at all.

You can get a PO Box or forwarding service as your FCC address.. doesn't have to be street address just mailing addy.

I thought the FCC wanted to know where your station was. Doesn't this defeat the purpose?

No, they only need to be able to contact you.

However, as far as I know, even if you change your listed address, your _past_ addresses are still published, unfortunately. There was some movement towards ending that, but I don't think it was successful.

I've just dealt with it (K4IMW), but, I use my PO Box for my FCC ULS information. If the FCC or anyone else wants to get in touch with me, it's probably quicker to email me, but, I understand that there are times where a paper letter is more "formal," (also, QSL cards).
