It is indeed allowed. Afaik the only policy (besides that is exclusively for hams) is that
you may not host or do any commercial content on/with it.
New BGP allocations are indeed from the 44.31.0.0/16 range, Chris G1FEF is handling those
and moving away from country specific /24 allocations for BGP. The only downside to that
is that you have to make arrangements to reclassify the prefix for your specific country
with services like Maxmind and ip2location if you're not in the US .

Subject: Re: [44net] Policy around /24 allocations for BGP use
I have a BGP routed /24, which happens to support a significant amount of infrastructure
for amateurs - an IRLP reflector, several Echolink conferences, D-STAR reflector and a
heap of public Echolink proxies.

Whaaaat? I know plenty of individual hams in vk2, and
vk4 with
individual allocations advertised via bgp.. although the former VK
coordinator was running half her ISP on 44-net space before she died,
so VK may just be very loose?

Hi
Does AMPRnet have any policy around allocating /24s to individual
hams for the purpose of experimenting with BGP/etc?
My local coordinator says this used to be a "yes, but you'd have to
be a club not an individual." However I note looking through AMPR
allocations there are some in e.g. 44.31 listed as
educational/tinkering BGP. Which is what I want to do. Should I be
requesting in 44.31 instead of my country's allocation?
