Ray Connin (KB8VU) runs QRO Technologies out of Bryan, Ohio, a site dedicated to amateur radio and high-power RF amplifier technology. The page is associated with a long-running operation dating back to 1996, suggesting deep involvement in the ham radio community.
http://james.ahlstrom.name/pcr1000
James Ahlstrom shares his Python-based control software for the Icom PCR-1000 wideband radio receiver, covering the full 100 kHz to 1.3 GHz tuning range. The page includes setup instructions for Windows and Linux, download links for dependencies like pyserial and pywin32, and a practical explanation of how PC-controlled radio software works.
https://nrao.edu/pr/2000/vla20/background
A commemorative background page from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory celebrating the VLA radio telescope's first twenty years of scientific discovery, covering breakthroughs from Mercury's icy poles to gravitational lenses and gamma ray bursts. Packed with links to research highlights, aerial photos, visitor information, and introductory radio astronomy materials, it serves as both a historical record and an educational gateway to one of the world's most powerful telescopes.
http://stars.astro.illinois.edu/sow/spectra.html
Jim Kaler's comprehensive guide to stellar spectra covers everything from absorption and emission lines to the Doppler effect and spectral classification, all richly illustrated with images of rainbows, nebulae, and spectrograms. Part of Kaler's broader STARS educational project hosted at the University of Illinois, this deep-dive reference explains how astronomers decode the physical and chemical nature of stars through the light they emit.
