Richard D. Jacobs, M.D. shares his CCD astrophotography captured from his backyard in Chandler, Arizona, showcasing diffuse nebulae, galaxies, star clusters, planetary nebulae, and solar system objects despite significant light pollution. The site also covers the technical side of amateur CCD imaging including astrometry, spectroscopy, and photometry, making it a useful resource for urban amateur astronomers.

Steve Mazlin, MD shares his stunning astrophotography collection at Our Colorful Cosmos, featuring images organized into sections covering nebulae, galaxies, star clusters, and the solar system. The image-heavy site showcases deep-sky photography from a dedicated personal observatory, with a companion YouTube channel under the handle 'mazlinithegreat' for additional content.
https://panspermia.org/
Cosmic Ancestry is a deep-dive scientific resource exploring the theory of panspermia, arguing that life on Earth originated from space and that all evolutionary innovation depends on genetic material of cosmic origin. The site covers astrobiology, comets as delivery systems, interstellar dust, the work of Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe, and presents extensive evidence comparing Darwinism with the Cosmic Ancestry hypothesis.
https://www.vkham.com/
VKHam is a comprehensive Australian amateur radio resource hub run by VK2CA, featuring over 12,000 QSL card images, a directory of 1800+ VK callsigns, repeater maps for all Australian states, and an extensive electronics and kit manual library. Visitors can look up VK callsigns, browse DX information, access frequency and Morse code references, and even post classified ads for ham radio equipment.
https://oiseaux.net/index.en.html
Oiseaux.net is a comprehensive ornithological portal covering more than 10,000 bird species worldwide, complete with species sheets, photos, drawings, birdsongs, and thematic files for all skill levels. The site also features identification tools powered by artificial intelligence, birdsong quizzes, games, a forum, and curated news from the ornithological world.

The Delmarva Stargazer Society was an amateur astronomy club founded in 1993 on the Delmarva Peninsula that ran star parties at three dedicated dark sky sites until disbanding in 2019. This archived site preserves the club's history, newsletters, by-laws, and meeting minutes, and is maintained by member Michael Lecuyer who still brings telescopes out for public viewing in Wyoming, Delaware.

The Housatonic Amateur Radio Club (callsign N1KT), based in Stratford, Connecticut, is a club founded in 1995 to promote amateur radio operating techniques, theory, and on-air practice for members and their families. The site lists club officers with their callsigns, provides contact information, and invites visitors to sign a guest book and join in radio contests.
http://butikov.faculty.ifmo.ru/Projects/Collection.html
Created by physicist E. Butikov of IFMO, this collection presents interactive Java applets simulating remarkable three-body gravitational motion problems, including the famous figure-eight periodic orbit and restricted three-body scenarios. It bridges classical Newtonian mechanics and celestial mechanics with hands-on simulations suitable for students and advanced researchers exploring planetary system dynamics.
http://zl2ctm.blogspot.com/2025/01/40m-pelican-case-ssb-trabsceiver.html
Charlie Morris (ZL2CTM) documents his amateur radio homebrew experiments, including this detailed post on building a 40m SSB transceiver housed in a Pelican case, complete with Arduino code for the Si5351 VFO and LCD control. The blog covers hands-on RF construction projects with schematics, code snippets, and supporting YouTube videos, making it a great resource for homebrewers interested in building their own transceivers.
