  1. I had (have) the same concerns as most in this thread ... this is what I have done ... may not be for everyone. As suggested above, I rented a POBox and changed my address with the FCC to that address. I found that shopping around for PO Boxes pays off. I went to https://www.usps.com/manage/po-boxes.htm and typed in just my zipcode where it asks for full address. It displayed all the Post offices in my area. My local post office wanted $60.00 for 3 mos or $20/mo (Extra Small box) But a smaller post office nearby (5 miles away) only wants $26 for 3 mos. or $8.67/mo. And if I bought 6 mos at once (which I did), the price dropped to $42.00 or $7.00/mo. Not bad. I do not, however, want to drive 5 miles every day just to check a probably empty mail box. (This is a secondary address and is only given to the FCC who almost never send me mail. Besides the FCC other hams may send me mail (e.g. QSL cards) but I am interested in those.) In any case, I signed up for Informed Delivery... a free service of the USPS (see https://www.usps.com/manage/informed-delivery.htm) which will send me photos of any mail that arrives, so I only make the trip to the Post Office when there actually IS mail. Finally, I registered my new address with DirectMail.com and DMAchoice.org to eliminate most junk mail. Works well... I recommend it.
