My Websites

1. radio-hobbyist.com

A niche blog focused on ham radio, shortwave listening, scanning, antennas, and related radio-frequency technology, authored by Rick Blythe (VE3CNU). The site delivers practical guides, equipment reviews, and tutorials for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike. It covers topics such as licensing resources, antenna design, software-defined radio techniques, and strategies for optimizing reception. (The Radio Hobbyist)


2. radiumdial.com

A specialist resource exploring the history, technology, and collectible appeal of radium-lumed watch dials. Content includes deep dives into the science and hazards of radioactive luminescent materials, their use in vintage timepieces, and transitions to safer alternatives such as tritium and modern photoluminescent compounds. This site blends technical context with historical perspective for horology enthusiasts and collectors. (radiumdial)


3. solar-watches.com

An informational site dedicated to solar-powered wristwatches, explaining how they work, longevity expectations, brand comparisons, and curated lists of notable solar models. Articles address key questions like lifespan, brand strengths (e.g., Eco-Drive and Tough Solar systems), and feature-focused roundups such as best dive or everyday solar watches. (solar-watches.com)


4. tritiumlume.com

(This site is part of your horological theme space, though I didn’t find a publicly indexed page on it.) Based on the domain and thematic alignment with related sites you operate (e.g., radiumdial.com), this site likely focuses on tritium lume in watches — covering the characteristics of tritium-based illumination, safety considerations, how it compares to other lume types, and its application in modern timepieces. If you have specific content or goals in mind for it, I can help draft a tailored description or structure.


5. uraniumware.com

(similar note: public indexing did not retrieve a live site) Given the domain, the site likely showcases uranium-glass and uranium-based collectible ware — items historically made with uranium additives that fluoresce under UV light. This would be a niche collectibles hub covering history, identification, display considerations, and safe handling practices for uranium glassware and related antiques. If you’d like, I can prepare a detailed conceptual description or help refine positioning/copy for the site.


6. rickblythe.com

This site you are on is a personal domain associated with my name. This domain can serve as a personal hub or portfolio site for my professional history, interests, publishing projects, and curated links to your other properties (such as radio-hobbyist.com and the watch-related sites).


7. sallysunshine.ca

A dedicated site for Sally Sunshine Gentle Fitness, run by my sister Sally MacDonald. It provides information on her gentle fitness programs tailored for older adults and seniors, including online Zoom classes, weekly schedules, and exercise videos for strength, balance, cardio, and flexibility. Sally’s credentials as a certified Senior Fitness Instructor and her focus on fun, safe movement for 50+ adults are featured. (Sally Sunshine Gentle Fitness)
