Excellent Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Ray and Bobby arrived at my QTH to install the last section of Rohn 45 tower in addition to an Optibeam OB 12-4, 6M 5 el Yagi, 2M 10 El Yagi and a VHF/UHF Vertical.
The install went flawless and they both made the raising of the Optibeam look very easy! Absolute professionals with genuine knowledge and experience.
All connectors were weather sealed and the coax/rotor cable was neatly ran down the tower.
I highly recommend them for any install you need for your tower.

The best there is Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Ray built my Steppir DB-18e, put up my 65ft tower, and put the Steppir and rotor on it. He is meticulous, and a true professional. When the tornado brought a 100ft oak down on a guy wire, the antenna and tower was destroyed. Ray assessed what needed to be done, got the remains of the tower down, and cleaned up the carnage. He even put up a doublet to get me back on the air while I plan for the next installation. Ray is a total professional. He has created and installed many stations far bigger than mine, and I am glad he found time for me. He is simply the best there is. If that’s what you want, then call Radio Echo.

The best! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Ray put up my tower and antennas six years ago. Great job done then!

I was sorry when the tower business closed a few years ago but very glad that it's been reopened recently. A few weeks ago I began having a problem running power on my multi-band beam. Something was causing my amp to fault on 15 meters. The SWR had become screwy on all the bands from 20m through 10m. I was afraid to operate for fear of damaging my equipment since I didn't know the cause of the problem.

Ray came out yesterday, figured it out and fixed the problem quickly. He even found and fixed a problem with a wire antenna hanging off the tower that I didn't even know had developed. Now I'm back on the air - good as new [well, the antenna system is, not really me :-) ]

I don't think that Ray needs any more business right now because he is so busy with current jobs, but he and his work are the best! Easy to work with, good guy and super reliable.

He got me back on the air in a minimum of time and with a very reasonable expense.

Really - the best!

Consummate Professionals - Fast and Friendly Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ran into difficulties replacing a rotator and knew that Ray was once again servicing towers/antennas. I sent him an email and received a phone call back right away. The communication was fantastic from that first call and throughout the entire process. I'm extremely happy with the work that was performed. Ray made sure that everything on the tower was working before he left (rotator, antennas, etc.). I am already planning to get on the Radio Echo schedule for more tower and antenna work next season.
