I am, sorry to say, very puzzled by some of the
entries in the file:
there are "A" records for such hosts as "ham", "e911", and

confuse me a lot. Please let me know if these are standard entries
which any TLD needs, or if they're special-purpose records for the 44
net. Of course, since they're in the file, they may be errors, and if
so, my apologies.
While I strongly prefer that people use callsigns for their hostnames,
I've never made that an absolute prohibition of other names. Those
entries that you're seeing are some of those other names that people
have added over the years, and I'll be just as happy to see them go
away. They're part of the mess that is the current DNS data.
