About Me: William Van Hefner
I began my career in radio and electronics. I started out repairing radios, mostly early AM radios, shortwave and ham transcievers. I obtained my amateur radio license (KB6VWL) in 1988, and have since talked to thousands of people all over the world.
In the early 90′s I turned my interest to computers and data communications. I ran a local computer bulletin board in the days before the Internet was in wide use and was a moderator on General Electric’s online service GEnie. I began building and repairing computers around that time and got into designing and building interactive voicemail (IVR) systems, which bridged an information service gap for those who didn’t own computers at the time.
