Warning to canadian Operators: If you're a in , Mark Bramwell,, operator of the website foxhollow.ca, has placed the entire Industry Canada database of ham callsigns on his website, in a way publicly indexable by Google. While this data can be downloaded and searched at Industry Canada's website, at QRZ.com, and via RAC (Radio Amateurs of Canada), none of those websites make your full name and address available to 's search index. They all require a login or prevent indexing. However, while Foxhollow claims it needs verification, the website owner has done nothing to prevent Google from crawling his website. For example, searching for "VA3SEP" in quotes reveals my full address as results 2 and 3, as Google is allowed to crawl this page without verification. Unfortunately, Bramwell has decided not to offer any public means of contacting him on his foxhollow.ca website.

@fastfinge That is concerning. Mark Bramwell is involved with the London Amateur Radio Club. nerdpit.ca/ham/course-2023/sched-2023.pdf I also found a possible way to contact him. He has a link to a form on his qrz page. www.qrz.com/db/VE3PZR

@nul42 Thanks! You can also use google's "results about you" removal form to get the results removed. But I'll shoot him a note on the off-chance he's active on QRZ.
