Frequency Plan Satellites – for beacon listings and transponder maps.Gunter’s Space Page – for details about the payloads of particular satellites, launch dates, etc.Satellite News Digest – a good place to look for upcoming launches and satellite failures.Has made dish pointing much simpler for me. Dishpointer – the best tool to determine the azimuth, elevation and skew for a given satellite at any given place, with map reference so you can judge it using landmarks.Satbeams – another good resource for coverage footprints.Sathint – a secondary source of transponder lists which occasionally is handy to keep up with recent transponder changes.Lyngsat – the premier resource of transponder lists, although as usual, some things might be out of date sometimes.TechARP – occasionally handy guides and information about new technology.Anandtech – very thorough reviews and in depth looks at new technology.arstechnica – another one of those “tech” sites.Gizmodo Australia – local tech “stuff” all mixed in.Whirlpool – broadband, telecommunications and networking news, mostly Australian.Good for “shopping and swapping” amongst other things. Overclockers Australia – more local news mixed in with a great forum.It’s a daily (if not, several times daily) habit for me to check it. Slashdot – you didn’t even need to guess this one.Note that some of the sites are regional-specific, and would be more relevant to those who are living in Australia, specifically Sydney and its surrounds. Some of them are just websites which I enjoy – like web-comics. Some of the sites are those I visit everyday, while others have been instrumental to the exposure of my work (and it is my way of thanking them for their support of my work). Here’s a roughly categorized list of sites which (I, and possibly) you might find useful in various situations (or if you just need something to read).
