Hello All,
Many years ago I suggested having something similar, and the Data Protection Act raised it's ugly head. I don't expect any members to complain about their data being used, but it may be worth checking up with someone who knows the DPA inside out.
As far as I can remember, any data that is gathered for a reason can only be used for that specific reason. Even if it appears in the public domain, if it is used for another purpose (ie call sign vs WAB square) I think it may fall foul of the DPA.
