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 .

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?
