I'd like to grant access to Amateur Radio frequencies if the source ip is within 44.0.0.0/8. I assume that only radio amateurs are "behind" net44 addresses.
You see, but that is completely useless, because you just firewalled the entire internet.
The key here is access to "Amateur Radio Frequencies", e.g. getting on the air / RF. The firewall would only be when the destination is behind an amateur radio link. You haven't cut off say a 44.x.x.x webserver from the Internet, if that webserver is on a non-Amateur RF connection. But you would block connection to a mobile station that is only reachable via 23 cm amateur radio.
