Client Feedback
Sandy Boyd -

I have been very impressed with Walt Coleman’s
tower crew. Walt and his crew, Richard Overby, Arnulfo
Delgado, Carlos Smith, and Larry White installed our new
antenna at WDIQ in September of 2009. I have been in the
broadcast business for 24 years and have dealt with
several tower crews, but have never dealt with one that
performed as professionally as they did. They were very
knowledgeable about their work and very thorough as well.
They did things such as anchoring the tower so it wouldn’t
twist, adding more support for the ginpole, etc. These are
just a couple of examples of many things they did that
showed me that they were concerned about safety and doing
the job right. I listened in as Walt and Richard discussed
the plans for what would be done and it became obvious to
me pretty quickly that they knew what they were doing and
intended to do the job right no matter what it took. They
cleaned up after themselves, which is something I don’t
think I have ever seen a tower crew do. They work well
with each other and tried to accommodate us in every way
they could. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a
tower crew to do their work and would be glad to see them
come back to any of our sites when we have work to do in
the future. |

I wanted to commend Walt and his crew for the
tower work that was done yesterday. I was very concerned
that moving our existing equipment down to make room for
Clear Channel's antenna would not be a smooth transition.
This concern was due to our equipment's age and the
current weather conditions at this site. Before beginning
this move, they advised me on the relocation plan, the
estimated down time, and how it would reduce our future
downtime with the new equipment installation. Despite the
windy conditions, they implemented the plan and completed
the work within the estimated time period. The Town's
system is on air, with no reported problems.
In
addition, Walt advised me that all our new equipment has
arrived at the site and will be installed once they
complete Clear Channel's installation. We look forward to
this and hope for an easy transition to the new equipment.

Walt and one of his crew members met me at the
site yesterday at 6 am to reconfigure the Town's
Dehydrator so that it would cycle according to
manufacture's recommendations. I wanted to commend them
for the job they did.
We hooked the new dehydrator
up last week but noticed the unit cycled on and off every
few minutes. We tried to split the "air in" tube and the
"sense" tube at the 3" coax connector's air port. This
configuration worked however the unit would only put one
tenth of pressure into the line when it reached the lower
pressure limit. This is because the "sense" tube
indentified a large amount of air volume in the line when
the dehydrator turned on. Walt suggested the "sense" line
be connected to the air port on the gas bearer portion of
the connector and a small hole be put in the fiber
membrane of the connector. I trusted Walt's judgement and
the manufacturer also recommended a second air port for
the "sense" line, so we planned the modification. Our
system was only down for 30 minutes and the dehydrator now
cycles properly.
Thanks again for the quality
workmenship that Southern has given to the Town of Cary on
this site. |

Even when they had weather delays, they continued
working on projects on the ground and I'm convinced that
we would still be weeks away from completion if not for
their work ethic, wisdom, and get-it-done attitude.
They have seen at least 2 weeks of
100-plus degree heat (not to mention the heat indexes over
110 degrees) and have not complained or
slowed. I just wanted to get
it in writing that I have appreciated Walt Coleman's team
of Richard Overby, Richard Henderson, Arnulfo Delgado,
Larry White and Ginger (she helped wrangle the cattle!).
They have been good stewards of time and resources,
pleasant and cooperative to work with, and always mindful
of our goals and needs. I'm looking forward to them
leaving...because that will mean that we are on the air
and operating from this new location!...but I will
remember and be grateful for their contribution to helping
WAY-FM reach 4 times as many people and impact lives for
Christ!

Thank you for the great effort at the Coast Guard's
Signal Mtn, Tn High Level Site (HLS) during this past
weekend. I am happy that Advanced Wireless Solutions
realized the removal of that 1500 Lb commercial antenna
was somewhat above their capability. More imporant, they
chose a fine professional company like yours to lend a
hand. Rick McClain felt relived to know you folks would be
onsite. I look forward to working with you and will
certainly consider you for upcoming projects.
Regards

I just wanted to say thank you to Walt and his
crew. We coulddn't have asked for a more professional crew
to preform a very challenging job like the one Walt and
his crew preformed for WIAT. As you know our location
posses its own very unique challenges due to the limited
space. The SBS crew did there absolute best to limit the
area they needed to safely pull off our required job, and
so would have a minimal impact on our day to day
operations. The respect your crew showed to the staff of
WIAT and myself were above and beyond professional. I
would recommend your crew anytime or anywhere, for any
tower job that I have or have input on.
