I was wondering if the 44 ip address can be use
for ham mesh 2.4 GHz
channel 1 - 6? Reason for the question is from what I understand that is
the amateur radio frequency and it should be ok? Hey just asking.

Take a look at
http://www.amateurradio.com/ham-radio-and-mesh-networks/
A quick excerpt "Did you know that … Frequencies used by channels one through six of
802.11b and 802.11g fall within the 2.4 GHz amateur radio band. Licensed amateur radio
operators may operate 802.11b/g devices under Part 97 of the FCC Rules and Regulations,
allowing increased power output but not commercial content or encryption."
So, 'YES' they can.
I have already allocated 44.2.3.0/24 to a mesh network in San Joaquin county.

Thankyou for this. I'd thought I could use a 44.* address on 2.4GHz, but it's nice
to have it confirmed.
Further to this, I was wanting to use lower frequencies, i.e. channel 0, channel -1,
channel -2 etc.
I think this is OK, too?
Now to kick a couple of RasberryPi and a TPlink.
