Real name

[Guest NOOB]

Is it acceptable to use your real name when setting up my user account?

Or do most create a "handle" to stay somewhat anonymous? 

Thank you in advance.

It's just fine. I used my first initial and last name,but most places I use my first name and last name.

... a good number of members use their callsign.

Knowing what information one can find on the FCC / ULS page, it cannot get "more real" than that

Welcome to the forum !!!

Welcome to the forum !!!

And if you look at the “Who’s Online“ page you’ll see the call signs listed below the login names for the members who are currently online.

The Daj at the end of my name comes from my Mother's maiden name, Dajnowski.

If someone wants to stay anonymous, getting a radio license isn't helping.

If you use your GMRS call sign any can look up your full name so I don't see the point in using a nick name unless that is what you wish to be called.
