If anyone cares that much about it, believe me, they'll find it no matter 
what name you use. I wouldn't be so sure about private court records. I have 
better things to do but if I wanted to, based on what you've posted so far, 
and the info in your signature, I'd bet I could get all the details. No, I'm 
not going to, but the archives are public. Unless you completely disappear 
and pop up in another part of the world with a new name and no info at all 
linking you to life in the past which only happens in the movies, if anyone 
cares, they can find out. Fact is though, this isn't a TV drama with rumors 
flying around, it's not high school or middle school where someone gets your 
dirty secrets and can't wait to air them, most people, if you don't bring it 
up, they're not going to bother hunting down your info or caring one way or 
another to dig in to your history. If you were charged and convicted of a 
crime, then you have reason for concern because you may or may not be able 
to get the ham radio license, but as long as you yourself weren't convicted, 
even if someone does find out, they're not going to put it out on the air, 
not going to harass you most likely. I just wouldn't worry about it, trust 
me, after this past summer for me, I'd love to pull that disappearing act 
with my family and never show my face around where I live again. I may come 
as close as I can, pack up the kids and wife and get far away if I can find 
a job elsewhere but I'm not too concerned about them finding out what's been 
going on. I don't think anyone cares all that much. I'm the one having 
problems dealing with it.

Subject: Re: what identifying information is tied to a callsign?

True. A callsign is like your ham name though, so thought I'd check it
out. What I want to eventually do is make it so that nobody links to my
maiden family, particularly Mom and Dad, that way they don't try to
sabotage my enjoyment of radio and other things. I've done much on the
Internet, but let's face it, I am not a drunken bar maid and I haven't
done anything sinful and posted that stuff on the Internet, but what if
say private court records were to show up? Refer to a previous email for
a bit more detail on that.
