The Paladin Contest Club is a casual amateur radio group centered around sharing a special club callsign for contests and mini-DXpeditions, with no formal score competition against other clubs. The site offers access to club bylaws, a member roster, contest scores, and logs, all coordinated by Jack Fleming (WA0RJY).
https://dx4win.com/
DX4WIN is a logging and DX management software site for amateur radio operators, focused on tools to track contacts and DX entities. The site uses a frames-based layout typical of early web design, suggesting it has been around since the early days of the internet.

John, EI7GL, runs this long-running amateur radio diary covering propagation experiments, solar cycle updates, and band activity across frequencies from medium wave to microwaves. The site is a treasure trove for radio enthusiasts, featuring detailed posts on DX contacts, digital modes, and radio science with an impressive archive of callsigns and events.
https://aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk/
AuroraWatch UK is a free alert service run by scientists at Lancaster University's Space and Planetary Physics group, notifying users when the aurora borealis might be visible from the UK. The site offers real-time magnetogram plots, activity stackplots, a map, and multi-channel alerts via email, Twitter, Telegram, and more.
https://ancient-skies.org/
Ancient-Skies is a collaborative scientific knowledgebase dedicated to documenting how human cultures across history have understood and represented the night sky. The project, launched around the International Year of Astronomy 2009, aims to gather and verify information from primary sources, making cultural astronomy accessible to both the general public and researchers worldwide.

Part of the Spread Spectrum Scene (SSS Online) website, this page is a curated link directory focused on Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) moonbounce communications for ham radio operators. Visitors will find links to operator pages, equipment guides, activity loggers, and resources covering weak signal propagation, SETI, DSP, and related amateur radio topics.
http://rvasclub.org/
The Roanoke Valley Astronomical Society (RVAS) is a Virginia-based astronomy club offering monthly meetings, observing sessions, newsletters, and astrophotography resources for members. The site includes clear sky charts, a DSO of the month feature, member pages, and meeting announcements with guest speakers covering topics like astrophotography techniques.
https://faraday.physics.utoronto.ca/GeneralInterest/Harrison/Flash
Created by a University of Toronto physicist, this collection features 99 Flash animations covering topics from Quantum Mechanics and Relativity to Chaos and Fluid Mechanics, making abstract physics concepts visually intuitive. A bonus tutorial teaches how to build your own physics animations in Flash, and the animations are available in multiple languages under a Creative Commons license.
