No thanks.
No, you don't. You the mailing address I told the feds where I can receive mail... I most certainly do not live at the post office.

FCC says the listed address must be where you are transmitting from. CoC #4. They can and have jerked licenses because of it.
Sorry for the late reply - things have been busy.

Re: having to "transmit" from the location on your license.. You're quite simply wrong, or saying something you believe but is not correct.

It used to be, waaaay up until the middle 60's, that you either had to be where your license locationwas, or you had to transmit a notice that you were either mobile or portable in "X" call district. That went away when the feds dropped additional station licenses in the mid 60's. You used to could have more than one call sign, associated with a different location where you would be transmitting, but all thst was dropped over 50 years ago. Today, you do not have to say where you are if you aren't transmitting from your home station, and there are no requirements that you notify the FCC if your stationlicense address changes, as long as you still receive mail at your mailing address!

Is your maidenhead grid right on QRZ.com, or is that the PO, too?
Unless you go in and change it yourself, the grid is for the Post Office, IIRC (though it may be for the city center or city hall). QRZ has no way of knowing my actual grid unless I tell them, since it's not something the FCC asks for on Form 605.
