Tower Professional Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I had Tim return after installing my 150 foot 55G rotating tower and multiple mono band yagis last October This time Tim installed a 4 element 40, 7 element 15 meter OWA and a 7 element 6 meter yagi on my rotating tower.
Again Tim did an excellent job and far exceeded my expectations.
Tim is extremely competent, knowledgeable, honest and personable. I will have Tim returning for my next tower/antenna project.

Great Job ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Tim was at my QTH for two days.
We put together a 3element 40 meter beam.
Then he put up the 40 meter beam and a new 6 meter
beam. He also put up new coax and checked everything
out. All works great. Just wish I had him a few more
days. I am putting together a new list for next summer. My QTH is Zanesville, Ohio

Very Professional Tower Expert Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Tim has a lot of experience with very difficult tower and antenna work. He recently performed a full day of antenna work including replacing a large beam in a stack and the job was done in a very professional and safe manner. I highly recommend him.

Excellent antenna service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
A fellow ham in AK, AL1G, recommended Tim Jellison should I be in need of any tower or antenna repair assistance. The timing was excellent as I had an alignment problem with my TH-11 following a winter wind storm. I contacted Tim and we set a schedule for doing the work and agreed upon a price for his services.

My TH-11 sits atop a 70 foot Tri-EX crank up tower, which is unsuitable for climbing. When retracted the height is about 24 feet. Due to the offset angle between the TH-11 and a 2 element 40M beam just above it, it was impractable to tilt the tower over for repair work as the elements of one antenna or the other would need to be removed to allow the tower to tilt over far enough. My solution was to rent a hydraulic lift for Tim to use as his work platform to correct the antenna misalignment issue.

Tim showed up promptly at the agreed upon date and, despite his lack of experience working with a hydraulic lift, soon was at work correcting my antenna problem. He realigned two reflector elements that were out of alignment from previous work I had done earlier, got the TH-11 aligned properly on the mast and then checked all the other element to boom mounting clamps.

This last step was completely unexpected, but Tim found many of the element clamp bolts were working loose due to many years of exposure to severe AK wind conditions. He torqued up all the loose clamps he found which I am sure will save me further problems in the near future.

All the work was done in a professional and workman like manner. It was obvious from watching Tim from the ground that he had a great deal of expericence and knew exactly how to correct my problems in a mininal amount of time. The time and effort Tim saved me in trying to do this work myself was well worth both his fee and the rental cost of the hydraulic lift. I highly recommend Tim's services should you have need of an experienced and capable individual to install or repair your tower and/or antennas.

Problems? Solved,. Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Tim helped me solve the issue on how to secure mast in Yaesu rotator. Based on problem description, and pictures of previous work, he designed and manufactured custom steel straps to secure Slipp-Knot to Yaesu rotator, to secure mast from rotating in high winds of my valley. Then he installed it.

Timing, arrangements, communications and work - fantastic. Very nice and educational experience.
I think calling it "tower and antenna service" is heavy underselling - Tim also provides valuable advice on whole shack operations.

Tim, thanks a lot ! Many DX, OM.
Strongly recommended.

Excellent work Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Tim Jellison KL7WV (W3YQ) removed four large OWA yagis from my rotating 150 ft tower. Tim arrived the evening before to check out what had to be done the next day. The next day everything went very smoothly - not one problem! Tim works safely and efficiently and knows what he is doing. Insured and a certified tower worker. Very enjoyable to work with. I highly recommend Tim.

Great work! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I used Tim Jellison KL7WV (also W3YQ) as my installer for a SuperBertha 40M4-OWA-48 full sized 40 Meter Yagi. This Yagi is a monster and weighs 375lbs. Tim assembled the Yagi, double checked the measurements, and coordinated the entire installation in two days. I am pleased with his very professional work, and he is great to work with. Safety was always first in his mind, which is as it should be. I look forward to using him again for my next antenna project!

Professional Tower Work! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Tim removed a very large 7 element 10 meter monoband beam that was 8' above a large tribander at 80' and made it look easy! Tim works safely and professionally. I highly recommend his services.
