The Best Tower/Rigger now working! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have known Hector XE2K/AD6D for nearly 20 years. I have seen him grow his business over the years through shear hard-work and outstanding customer service.

I finally moved to a house that I could erect a tower and beams. When it came time to make decisions on what antennas and how to install, I called Hector.

After much back and forth we decided the best options form my location. I built the antennas with his guidance and support. Once built he spent a day -and a half installing them on my tower. A job that could have easily taken me a week or two. Professional and technically savvy.

If you need antenna or tower work, contact Hector!

ROHN 55G (100’) and JK 404C & Big-Tri Installation Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I called Hector Garcia and requested his help to install a ROHN 55G 100’ tower and two JK antennas at my home located in Gallatin TN. Hector installed the tower, two JK beams (JK 404C & Big-Tri), 22’ section of 3” chrome-moly mast, three dipole antenna pully systems, one 2-meter antenna, one PELCO bullet camera, one Davis weather station and a small prop-pitch rotator (provided by (SK) Kurt Andress – K7NV). Hector and his brother (Johnathan) did a great job assembling both JK beams, tower, Phillystran guy wires and a million other parts and pieces. The two-man team is extremely knowledgeable, polite, friendly, and remarkably hard working. The crew was time efficient and their quality of workmanship was nothing less than outstanding. Hector climbed up and down the 100’ tower carrying an extra 30 lb. of belt & tools with ease. Johnathan patiently spent hours dealing with the intricate details of guy wires, grounding, antenna assembly and providing ground-man activities. The two worked 12 hours a day for five days making sure all details were covered safely and properly. Installation of the tower and beams occurred within just three hours with the use of a crane (Centry Steel Crane – Hendersonville, TN). Hector noticed that one of the beam’s elements had a little dent that must have occurred during shipping. Hector called Ken and discussed repair options. Ken provided overnight shipping of a sleeve to place over the blemished section of the element. Ken made sure the repair was performed properly. Although the antenna arrived a year prior to the installation, Ken provided the repair material with no additional charge. Ken and Hector made sure the repair was performed efficiently and safe. I hear DX calls louder than I’ve heard from my previous vertical and dipole antenna configuration. These beams provide an amazing new experience for me. I’m very pleased with the results that Hector and Johnathan performed on the tower, beam assembly and accessories. I’m sure that when I’m ready to modify or maintain the tower and antennas, I’ll be calling Hector and Johnathan again.

You will not be disappointed . . . Simply one of the best Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I used Hector Garcia and his brother to build and erect three JK Beams on my crank up tower. He came highly recommended by local hams and JK Antenna/Ken Garg since he had performed over 150 installation jobs for this antenna company.

The knowledge he brings to the job, speed at which he works, and familiarity with JK beam products and assembly is simply superb and probably unmatched. He brings a great skill set and knowledge base plus a great attitude and work ethic.

He always started work at 7:30 am and would work until practically darK. Hector is very organized and I cannot say enough good things about him and his brother Johnathan. He is very fit and can scamper up a tower with little effort. I was very impressed to say the least and I would recommend him for any and all antenna jobs.

Superb job!! Highly recommend him Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Hector was very organized, methodical and very detailed in his work. He installed an Optibeam OB6-3m on a 33 foot tower. Although we had exchanged a few emails prior to his arrival, I explained where I needed his help. Upon his arrival at the QTH, we went outside and I showed him where the tower was and pointed out where the underground PVC conduit was.

After that I helped lay out the antenna, rotor and instruction manuals within 15 feet or so of the tower. Then Hector proceeded to get the tools he needed from the trailer behind his truck and started working.

He started with the assembly of the OB6-3M. After that he checked the rotor for proper functionality. Then he installed the rotor up on the tower and subsequently installed the beam. After that, I helped him run the new coax (LMR400-UF) out to the tower. Once the connectors were added to the coax, he checked the SWR and it was actually slightly better than what Optibeam indicated in their assembly manual.

Additionally, he installed a dual band VHF vertical on top of the beam.

Summary:
EXCELLENT job done and I would HIGHLY recommend Hector for any antenna work that you might need.
5 stars!!!!!

Solid, Fair, and Dependable Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Hector has been to my QTH several times, and has done a great job. He stays busy (used my time and dollars well) and is innovative so he fixed problems in the field as they came up and has the knowledge to foresee problems before they occur.

His pricing is fair and his communications are great - this is very important to me.

Great Time Owned: more than 12 months.
In many areas it can be problematic finding someone to do professional tower and antenna installation and repairs for ham stations. Hector has done several jobs for me. His experience and insights are invaluable. He is organized, thorough, well equipped, and safe. He can handle jobs from the largest multi-tower multi stacked yagi turnkey installs to smaller tower and antenna install and repairs.

Super Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Hector and his brother Johnathan just finished installing a 100' Rohn 55G with a JK2040 on it. Outstanding job - complete turnkey. Hector does everything and efficiently. Call him for your tower/antenna work. You won't be disappointed.

Safe, professional, timely, and knowledgeable Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Hector is safe, professional, timely, and knowledgeable. He is always willing to communicate with me about my thoughts on projects for him, from concepts to hardware.

He removed a damaged crank up and installed a replacement crank up tower for me at my home QTH along with stacking two large tribanders on it. From the concept phase of how to stack tribanders on a motorized crank up to final install all went very well. An 80m dipole with Seco Tornado tuner is the topper on the mast.

I have had very heavy winds since he installed all of this along with very heavy rain (for Southern California standards). Every piece of hardware has stood up to the elements and my weekly high power contesting / emergency services use.

His pricing is extremely fair. He goes out of his way to describe the pricing up front with an estimate. At the end he breaks it all down on paper. I felt very good at the end price considering what great and safe work that he did.

I will be using him for my father's QTH work along with my next build.

Hector is great! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Hector Garcia is a terrific Antenna/Tower installer. He has been a ham for long time. He fit me into his schedule during a gap in his commute to Sacramento and installed a Steppir Urban Beam and a JK65 for me including a rooftop tower. He works fast but always cares about safety. He got the work done in time and till date I have had zero trouble with it. Quality work from a quality professional. I’d recommend him 100%.
