ABOUT ONE KILOWATT

Radio is the starting point.
Curiosity takes it from there.

I'm Chad, NØYK. One Kilowatt follows my projects and experiments in amateur radio, telecommunications, networking, antennas, remote stations, and the technology that connects them.

The goal is simple: show the work, share what I learn, and keep the heavy production out of the way.

HAM RADIO & STATION PROJECTS

Build it.
Test it.
Get on the air.

Antennas, VHF/UHF/SHF, station infrastructure, remote operation, satellites, and the practical work behind keeping a station on the air.

RADIO ASTRONOMY & EXPLORATION

From terrestrial signals
to deep space.

Visits and technical deep dives that connect radio history with what comes next — including the Deep Space Exploration Society's 60-foot radio telescope.

Cold War history • radio astronomy • big antennas • unusual RF systems

RADIO-ADJACENT TECH

The network behind the station.

01

Connectivity

Starlink, backup internet, and resilient links for remote operation.

02

Networking

Routing, automatic WAN failover, monitoring, and practical infrastructure.

03

Experiments

Technical projects that may start outside ham radio — but usually find their way back.
