Client Feedback

Sandy Boyd - Assistant Broadcast Director
Alabama Public Television

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.
