Cool. I've experimented with BPQ, not sure if it's the same as LinBPQ and it
worked for me, however I don't recall why I stopped using it.  I'm going to
circle back to it this week and check it out again and try to remember what
the trouble was that I encountered.  

I've seen the 44.x address space, however I have no experience with it.  
Can you explain the purpose of the 44.x address space at a high level and
share a use case or two for it?

In my experience with "Packet", "Pactor modes" or "APRS" I haven't seen an
actual use case for the 44.x address space.
