The descriptions appear to be an experimental/educational network for
*learning BGP*. Very much in-tune with the AMPRNet stated goals.
The request appears to be coming from a licensed HAM, with details all
technically correct and present.
domain used, uses a whois hiding service
Most domain registrations now use some (automatic) hiding/obfuscation
of contact email addresses. Including (for example) for 'on3rvh.be'.

Email: ampr(a)alekeagle.com
The 'ampr@' prefix shows a customisation for AMPRnet purposes. (cf.
'44net@' prefix in this email address, but 'qrz(a)p.s.o' on QRZ).
Such prefixes allow easy tracking of when email addresses have leaked.
in the original request: "AE: The operator of the

a Belgian allocation, he recommended me to request a Belgian one."

Ideally the maintainers responsible for ONxxx and Kxxxx would,

Would this be a good next-stop to take, in conjuction with Alekzandr?
(Perhaps along with a humble apology to Alekzandr).
