JF1OZL   
Another prolific Japanese electronics hobbyist. This site conatins a lot of projects related to ham radio. Most are pretty small projects, though there are a few pretty large ones as well. There are also some pretty good tutorials. The handmade drawings and schematics make this site charming as well as educational. This is one of my personal favorite sites.

Parts/Materials

Electronic Source  
Web-accessible electronics distributor in Thailand. You can pay by many methods, including by ATM and get the parts via EMS in a day or two. Very good prices, especially compared to the distributors I've used in the U.S. I have used them several times and am very happy with the service and the materials. I believe they will ship internationally and accept payment by credit card.
