Bill moved to this area in the mid-'80s to manage WEEO-AM in Waynesboro, Pa., and later went to work in the land-mobile radio business as a two-way radio technician. During that time, he worked for Ford Communications in Hagerstown, Md., and Hankey's Radio in Frederick, Md. He returned to commercial broadcasting at WXVA AM/FM Charles Town, W.Va., in the '90s doing on-air work and engineering. He then joined Manning Broadcasting in Hagerstown and Frederick, where he was employed for more than 20 years as a radio personality, production director and later chief engineer of WARK, 106.9 The Eagle, and Key 103 in Frederick, and several other stations.

He also built and maintained two UHF amateur radio repeaters in Hagerstown and Frederick. Bill also enjoyed operating on the HF bands (shortwave frequencies), chatting with other amateur operators throughout the country and around the world. He participated annually in Amateur Radio Field Day, as well as numerous amateur radio contests throughout the year, often taking top spots in various operating categories during these events.
