W2RTM, once again, participated as an official station of the International Marconi Day on-the-air event, 22 April 2023.  We made more than 760 contacts.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this a successful event.
Our museum is located at the site of Marconi's 1914 High Power Receiver Station.  This area became the U, S, Army's Radar Laboratory (Camp Evans) in 1941.  This is now the campus of the InfoAge Science &  History Museums.

ARRL Field Day:  2019   2020   2023


The Belmar Station was the location of Edwin Armstrong's demonstration of his regenerative receiver, that greatly strengthened radio signals, making them more audible to the human ear, to David Sarnoff of American Marconi in January 1914.  The demo took place in the construction shack outside the unfinished Operations Building.
