Another site done gone
Looking at the midnightscience.com site and got this:
So yet another radio / parts site is gone. As far as I know the force behind the xtal set society was W0XI who died in 2023:

Phil was also the man behind the Alden Mcduffie kits which apparently got folded into midnightscience.com.
Per the wayback machine the last capture was January 3, 2024. That front page capture indicated that the last update was 2015-10-31 so maybe things had slowed down recently. Still it would be nice to have the site still up since generally the wayback captures are often found lacking when drilling down into the content.

One brighter note: Kantronics, which was started by W0XI, is still a going concern:
