This is the 44 address map, by amateur callsign, which maps to a geographic
region on the earth's surface. Coarse and crude, but a rough guide to
routing. Root server stuff.
You can look up against the callsign to get a mailing address, but it's
not quite 1 mm precise. 8^) And if you do that, you get the rough equivalent
of the old Rutgers uucp maps.
The subnetting is geographic, but there are other nets outside the 44 space.
It takes all kinds...
