| Greetings all Hams... |
| |
| I started my career as a DJ in the mid 80’s. A friend that I took over late at night was telling me about ham radio and we went out to his car and he made some calls and got some feedback from other hams. I thought it was great to hear. So he told me about a class that was going on, where I could take the test for novice and CW. I took the test and passed it, and then I passed the 5 words-per-minute CW test too! That was in June 1991. Then in Dec. 7th of 1991 I passed my Tech. Good news, on, 4/15/06. I just passed my Gen. and Extra. I'm cooking now! |

| I have loved being a ham and have worked as a volunteer for the City of Sunnyvale. I do photography work as a volunteer as a disaster worker for the S.N.A.P (Sunnyvale Neighborhoods Activity Prepare) and for O.E.S. I do all the photography for the City’s Graduations, disaster trainings for the city and Santa Clara areas. |

| The rigs I have are (in the house) Kenwood TS-440s, Kenwood TS–480, Yaesu FT- 100 HF rigs. Kenwood TM-733. Kenwood TM-D700A (The truck), Kenwood TM-D700A Yaesu FT-100. 1 Kenwood TH-D7G and an ICOM IC-T81A HT Yaesu FT-911 HT and a Yaesu FT-50R HT. When you lookup my callsign at qrz.com, you'll see a photo of my QSL card -- if you work me on HF, this is what you will get. It’s a one of a kind. |

...and put in the search for "William Young", and all names that have "William B. Young" are mine. I have won awards and in March of 2007 in Las Vegas I took Runner Up in a photo contest. Here is another site to look at too...

| I do Video work and am a singer-songwriter. I’m the V.P. of the “California Friends Of John Denver” organization. I did the services for the first 2 events for John Denver in Pacific Grove, Ca. He will be missed. In September 23rd we will have an event in Pacific Grove with John’s family and friends. |

| You can find me at times on Echolink or on PSK31 on 20 meters, so stop by and say "hi" if you hear or see me out there. |

| On July 21, 2007 the Loma Pioneers Radio Club brought in the WinSystem, which is linked from the 442.900 MHz repeater, with a PL tone of 162.2 Hz. This repeater covers the greater Bay Area, and for more info, go to http://www.lprc.net or to http://www.winsystem.org. It's a great system and there are as of now (Aug.5,2007) 55 repeaters that link up to repeaters from in and out of California, as well as in other countries. It's fun, and if you have time, give it a look. |

| My Job is taking photos of Pre-School kids (now I can say I'm a professional photographer) here in the Bay Area. As I have always said, "If there is a job I can be good at and love doing and get paid for it I would eat it up". Well, I love doing photos and being out on the road and not in an office with no windows to look outside. If your in the Bay Area and want photos, send me an e-mail message. |

Peace my friends.
