[HamWAN PSDR] Questions on 44-net ip block allocation

[Nigel Vander Houwen]

John, Since you’re connected to HamWAN, we can assign you space out of our large block. Please reach out to netops at hamwan.org with the details and one of the admins can help you out.

These addresses would need to be routable from the internet and 44-net.  Any networked devices that don't need to be reachable through the internet or 44-net would of course have private nat'ed addresses.

From reading the HamWAN docs and the wiki.ampr.org web site, any net blocks smaller than /24 should be obtained from a regional coordinator that has one or more multi-user /24 blocks set aside for allocating smaller ip blocks.
