Armstrong Days at Infoage
On the night of 30 January 1914, Edwin Howard Armstrong, accompanied by
Professor Morecroft from Columbia University, demonstrated his regenerative
receiver to David Sarnoff and Roy Weagant of The American Marconi Company at the
Belmar receiving station then under construction.
2014 marks the 100th anniversary of this historic event. The Marconi site
morphed several time over the years, becoming the U.S. Army's secret radar
laboratory in 1941, and is now the home of the InfoAge Science History Learning
Center and the New Jersey Antique Radio Club’s Radio Technology
Museum.
The New Jersey Antique Radio Club’s Radio Technology Museum will
host an observance of the occasion at the InfoAge Science History Learning
Center and Museum in Wall Township, NJ on February 8th and 9th from 1 to 5 PM.
There will be a display and demonstration of vintage regenerative radio
receivers with a formal presentation at 3 PM. The other InfoAge museums will be
open as well. Admission is free. A five-dollar donation to InfoAge is
suggested.
