Welcome to indianhamradio.com. By accessing, registering, or using this website, you agree to comply with and be strictly bound by the following Terms and Conditions, which are specifically designed to eliminate fake accounts and protect the licensed Amateur Radio community.

1. Mandatory Valid Indian License

  • Only licensed Amateur Radio Operators holding a valid, active license issued by the Ministry of Communications, Government of India (WPC Wing), are permitted to create an account on indianhamradio.com.
  • Regular shortwave listeners (SWL) or general public users are strictly prohibited from creating an operator profile.

2. Strict Rules & Verification to Avoid Fake People

To ensure 100% authenticity and avoid unauthorized individuals, indianhamradio.com implements a zero-tolerance policy:

  • Call Sign Verification: Every new registration must include a legitimate, legally issued Indian Call Sign (e.g., VU2/VU3 series).
  • Manual Admin Review: No profile will be published automatically. The Administrator manually reviews every registration, cross-checking the Call Sign and name against official government ham radio databases.
  • ID Proof Verification: The Administrator reserves the right to freeze any account and demand a copy of the official WPC license booklet or government ID card. Failure to provide proof within 48 hours will lead to permanent deletion.
  • Immediate Legal Action: Using another operator’s Call Sign, creating fake profiles, or pretending to be a licensed ham radio operator on this platform is a serious offense. indianhamradio.com will immediately block the user, log their IP address/mobile number, and report the identity theft to relevant authorities if necessary.

3. Phone Number Verification & Required Data

  • All users must provide an active, authentic Indian mobile number during registration.
  • Any account registered with a temporary, VoIP, or fake international number will be flagged and deleted immediately.

4. Anti-Scraping & Data Protection Policy

  • The data on indianhamradio.com is published solely for genuine networking and emergency communication support.
  • Any attempt to scrape, harvest, or bulk-download operator data (names, call signs, locations, phone numbers) using automated bots, scripts, or extensions is strictly illegal. Security features are active to automatically block any IP address attempting bulk extraction.

5. Termination of Accounts

  • indianhamradio.com reserves the absolute right to reject, suspend, or permanently delete any user profile at any time, without prior notice, if there is a suspicion of fraudulent activity.
