This is an old picture of me from when I lived in Pittsburgh, PA. in the early 2000's A picture of Michael P. O'Connor

This is a small icon I made for myself
many years ago in the early 2000's

Here is my home ham radio setup.

Welcome to the web site of Michael P. O'Connor (KB3HCG) of Cockeysville MD, formerly of Pittsburgh PA, I would one day like to return to Pittsburgh, it is such a great city.

This is my little corner of the internet. Here I will host my blog, and 2 other domains (my Ham radio blog, and my makers blog).

For my Ham radios I have the following:

Home station a Yaesu FTM-150
Home station a Yaesu FT-710
HT a Yaesu VX-6R
HT a Yaesu FT-5D
Mobile station a Yaesu FTM-150 with the ASP chip
Mobile Station a Yaesu FT-819
In storage a Yaesu FT-817
In storage a Icom 2100H
Portable Operations a Xiegu X6100
Home station for Short Wave Listening a Lafayette HA-63

I have redone the layout of the site, the blog is now at http://blog.mikeoconnor.net. I am hoping that the new design of the site will allow me more flexibility to add more things in the future. I have recently redone the blog section of the web site, to be self coded and not using pre-written php code. To make maintaining this site easier I have mounted the web server folder to my local Linux box using sshfs so I can just use cp and emacs to work on the site from my local computer.

Here is a great view of the city of Pittsburgh from the west side at night.

Below are some links around my site (my site map if you will). These should help you navigate around my site.

In the early 2000's (from 2001 to 2003) I worked in The School of Computer Science Operations at CMU, we had a program on an old DEC computer connected to some temperature monitors, one day the one outside was failing and gave an erroneous reading so I had to get a screen capture of it.
