I currently don't have much time to put into hobbies, but I did some gardening/landscaping during a break in the rain last weekend. Felt great to get out and move around. Garden finally is put to bed for the winter (or what's left of it).

I know the public registry has, in the past, been a barrier to entry. Nice to see that it's still in place so only people who don't have targets painted on their backs can enter the hobby.

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. The noted popular-to-vulnerable-people hobby of flying an airplane.

Quick question (and an honest one: I genuinely don't know): can I get the name, address, and telephone number of any aircraft pilot? 'Cause I can with ham ops.

Nope.

Pilots can opt out.

Hams cannot:

If you do not want your home address to be public information when the new license is issued, an alternative address, such as a PO Box or work address, would be acceptable.

That's the only bone the RCC will throw your way privacy-wise.
