Kenny, so in other words there is no HamWAN backhaul link to the repeaters at Cougar, instead the backhaul is a commercial DSL ISP that provides connection to the 44net?

Just want to clarify, since Rob's post (while correct) is in conflict with others, including my own.

I took the original question to be any RF access to HamWAN at Cougar, meaning is there any node to connect to hosted a Cougar. (Which there is not)  What Rob is describing is a multi-building LAN, which is connected to HamWAN via a VPN over the DSL line at the site. This is great for those of us with repeaters hosted there, but doesn't do much if we wanted to connect to HamWAN from our QTH.

Yes, there is. It lands via a dedicated tunnel over commercial Internet, and performs just like any other HamWAN attachment. It has been in operation for years.

It is used currently at Cougar in Buildings E and K, by WWATS, SeaTac RA and SnoVARC.
(Western Washington Amateur Television Society, SeaTac Repeater Association, and Snoqualmie Valley Amateur Radio Club).

I have a plan to extend its reach to Building M, if needed.

Depending on Burt Guillot's needs, it is likely that I can connect him to our network without too much trouble.

Burt, I suggest you write to me off list - K7QJ@arrl.net - and describe your application.

Is there any kind of HamWAN access at Cougar Mountain (WA)?  I tried
searching the list archives, and the only recent thing I found was a note
from 2017 that said HamWAN was prohibited from installing any equipment
there by the site owners--not sure if that was specifically for sector
equipment or even client access equipment.  Just checking to see if anyone
has any more recent news on that.

Burt,

There has been no change at Cougar we are aware of. Any client connection would be subject to your individual leases/agreements, but there is certainly no HamWAN infrastructure there.

Let me try that again....

The property manager (Scott) for Ratelco, which manages most of the sites
on Cougar, has denied several requests to install any HamWAN equipment at
any of their sites.

Thanks
Kenny
