SOS, 155 Bytes
!+!-!!+!-!!!!+!!-!!+!-!+!-!+!!-!+!!-!!!+!!-!+!!-!!!+!!-!+!!!!-!!+!-!+!!-!!!!+!-!!!!!!+!-!+!-!+!!!-!+!!-!+!!!!-!+!!!-!!+!-!!+!!-!+!!-!!!+!!-!!+!-!!+!-!!!!+!
Explanation:
Each ! outputs a single bit. That bit is 0 if the current stack is empty, and 1 otherwise. Initially the stack is empty. + adds something (an empty stack) to it, and - removes it. As soon as 8 bits are output, the corresponding byte is sent to stdout. Therefore the sequence up to the 8th !, !+!-!!+!-!!! outputs the bit sequence 01001000, which is the ASCII code for the letter H.
The last character uses the fact that if at the end of the program less than 8 bits are output, the value is left-padded with zeros, and the resulting byte is output. So with comments (and spaces to make the output commands line up), the program reads like this:
!+!-! !+!-! ! ! Output 01001000, i.e. H
!+! !-! !+!-!+! Output 01100101, i.e. e
-!+! !-!+! !-! ! Output 01101100, i.e. l
!+! !-!+! !-! ! Output 01101100, i.e. l
!+! !-!+! ! ! ! Output 01101111, i.e. o
-! !+!-!+! !-! ! Output 00101101, i.e. comma
! !+!-! ! ! ! ! Output 00100000, i.e. space
!+!-!+!-!+! ! ! Output 01010111, i.e. W
-!+! !-!+! ! ! ! Output 01101111, i.e. o
-!+! ! !-! !+!-! Output 01110010, i.e. r
!+! !-!+! !-! ! Output 01101100, i.e. l
!+! !-! !+!-! ! Output 01100100, i.e. d
+!-! ! ! !+! Output 00100001, i.e. exclamation mark
