On June 29 the FCC’s new rules go into effect that require email addresses with all amateur applications.  These email addresses must be kept current.

Details were contained in an earlier ARRL story: http://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-to-require-email-address-on-applications-starting-on-june-29-2021

There has been a persistent concern expressed that the email addresses would be visible in the public records, as they are for commercial licensees that use the same license database.  Last January I asked the FCC staff to continue to “mask” email addresses for amateur service licensees.  Today Roger Noel, Chief of the FCC’s Mobility Division, stated that even after June 29, amateur records visible on the FCC’s ULS website will continue to mask email addresses so that they will not be visible to the public.
