*Status:*
We are in Emergency Stabilization mode now. We are attacking worse first.
We face the challenges of keeping the momentum of our regular activities
increasing and meeting the challenges of the additional grounds and
buildings.
Our next steps are to secure the remaining broken or missing doors,
repair the three roof leaks that we suspect can be causing structural
damage and begin repainting the metal DDUs to protect them from further
rust damage. Anyone want to help?
This past week was super busy. Just some of the things I know of or
can recall at this hour. Please email the items I forget, It is
important to report our progress.
*During the week... and weekend...*
-Nels W. and Pete R. went above - their normal above and beyond. They
mowed and "weed wacked" the entire main site, including the new field.
-Nels and Pete also removed the fence the BRAC persons put by 9010D and
9092. They removed the barbed wire and pulled the posts out of the
ground with our fork lift.

restroom in 9162
--We continued repairing problems with the original light fixtures as
seen in the 1960s National Geographic and NASA photos of the control room.
- We re-roofed 9012, the first 'H' building boiler house. This makes
another building that will not leak. Our total for the month is 9 - yes
nine buildings re-roofed since the transfer. We have re-roofed 17
buildings (seventeen) so far and four minor structures.
-We have estimates to re-roof the 'H' buildings to help us in the
preparation of a grant or a public outreach to save these historic
structures.

were not good. Dave Snellman cleaned the rotten food out of the 9002

No InfoAge Meeting on Wednesday May 13
Hello All,
No Meeting Wednesday night. A news update update will be sent later.
*Invitation to National Event Honoring Preserve America Communities and
Stewards*
*/Mr. Ronald D. Anzalone/*
Director, Office of Preservation Initiatives Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has sent us an invitation to a reception and Preserve America recognition event honoring selected Preserve America Communities and Stewards, including the InfoAge Science-History Center - reservation of Camp Evans. Ray Chase and Steve Goulart are representing InfoAge in Washington DC
tomorrow. The reception will be held on the evening of Wednesday, May 13th in Washington, D.C.
President Barack Obama signed the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 on March 30, which included authorization for Preserve America and Save America's Treasures grants.
In addition to the grants, the law codifies the designation of Preserve America Communities as one of the entities eligible to apply for grants.
The details of the grant are at:
http://www.achp.gov/docs/Omnibus_Bill_090330.pdf Please review it. We need to put together a group to explore the possibilities with this $50 Million dollars. Wall is NJ's first Preserve America Community and InfoAge is amount the first eleven Preserve America Stewards. Camp Evans is an official Save America's Treasures Project.
***Steve Goulart has pointed out every state has received grants under these programs except NJ.
***We submitted two grants, but I made the mistake of proposing work in anticipation of the transfer.
***As of March 24th at 4PM with the completion of the transfer we are positioned to go for the money we need to preserve this site for the benefit of the future.
Again, please review the link to help us prepare a winning grant.
Thank you,

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday May 6
Hello All,
We will have our regular meeting, on Wednesday, May 6th at 6:45PM. I
extend a warm welcome to you to join in the meeting tomorrow.
From the events below you will see our center is growing as a tourist
attraction, a place for education, a living memorial and a place of
historic preservation.
Future events:
May 9th - Sunday - 5:30PM InfoAge helps Wall Kiwanis at the Wall Stadium
50/50 raffle. Please let me know if you can help. This is fun
especially if you like auto racing.
The club has supported InfoAge for years. Until we received gifts
from large multi-national corporations the Wall Kiwanis was our best
support when few others had faith in us.
June 6th - Wall of Honor event - Details coming soon.
This past week was action packed.
On April 29th - We will hosted the Monmouth/Ocean counties PTA
presidents meeting in our hotel. They liked the place and it is up to
us the involve them more fully in InfoAge to help their kids and schools.
On May 2nd - Radio Auction - From an email from Ray Chase and a response
from NJARC President Richard Lee
A big thanks to all you who helped make the May 2nd InfoAge auction a success, too many to mention by name. Those who helped pick up the stuff and schlep it around at infoAge, (especially up the ramp from the hotel basement, it seemed easy taking it down, not so easy coming up, we won't make that mistake again, all storage henceforth will be ground level). Those who set up and ran the food concession; who repaired ceiling lights at the eleventh hour; those who did an accurate and speedy job of clerking; registration and cashiering; all those who showed up bright and early Saturday to be runners and parking lot attendants; and not to forget those who brought money and hauled everything away. We also need to especially thank Richard & John Estes who came from Ohio to Auctioneer. Also our InfoAge friends who provided all kinds of assistance in big and small ways. Just under 400 lots were sold in four hours and twenty minutes. The gross sales totaled just over $10,000, WOW!
It will take a few days to crunch all the numbers to figure out the distribution of the proceeds. Hope everybody had at least a little fun and got some goodies to take home.
Ray
Fellow enthusiasts, I want to echo the thanks Ray Chase has expressed to all NJARC volunteer members participating in this past Saturday's Mega auction at InFoAge.
BUT, he left out the most significant volunteer.....Himself! Without Rays' foresight, this auction would have never come together. All those "treasures" we took home Saturday, would still be stashed in all corners of InFo Age. Most of us have no Idea, the amount of time and planning it took, and the invitation of a professional auctioneer....Brilliant! Our hats off to Ray Chase! Regards, Richard Lee President NJARC
May I add my thanks to Ray, the entire NJARC, Richard and John Estes, and Wall Township for issuing the auction permit. I loved seeing the excess radios/etc going into the hands of people who will care for them rather them sitting in our storage. We can only display so much.
On May 2nd - Ship Wreck Symposium - An email from Dan Leib:
All:
First, let me thank everyone for making this year's symposium a success!
We received very little criticism and loads of compliments. The museum
received high praises. We profited only a little under what I'd hoped,
but we made enough to keep going for another year. While I heard only
a few of folks say they thought the wreck montage was a little long, I
heard as many say they loved it. Any more people in the room and the
sight lines would have been bad. Those were the only two criticisms I
heard - and I polled a lot of folks. Everyone said the second half was
even more interesting than the first - and they liked both halves. They
all liked the host, the artwork, the ROVs, and all of the speakers. Good
show!
Tina, you did a great job hosting. You made it your own. Well done!
Harry, you got a lot of compliments. Folks liked the talk very much.
Steve and Maureen, the last was the best. The women of NE diving was a hit!
Several already volunteered to help with next year's event. Some came up
to me and said they liked the event very much and were already looking
forward to next year's symposium. We are consistent!
Whether you helped a little or a lot, you all did a great job and you
have my eternal gratitude.
Thank you,
Dan
Dad and the NJHDA - Great job - you made us proud.
The May 2nd & - May 3rdWeekend in Old Monmouth -
This event was bigger and better than last year. We enjoyed over double
the attendance over last year.
We also enjoyed a visit by Mr. Randall Gabrielan, Executive Director and
Ms. Ellen Terry, Commissioner of the Monmouth County Historical
Commission.
Thanks to this event we expect more persons to join as members.
The May 3rd - NJ Hall of Fame Installs Marconi - Thanks to Linda P. and
Don Jay Smith of the New Jersey Hall of Fame I was asked to represent
our hero G. Marconi at the gala event.
Bernie R. provided photos and information on Marconi for the
introduction video. Bernie and Dot also at the event.
The Hall of Fame mentioned InfoAge in the event program and had a photo
of the NJARC Radio Technology museum in the Marconi Video.
I did my best to represent us in a three minute talk on Monconi.
Backstage I reminded the Governor that as soon as the NPS elevates Camp
Evans to National Historic Landmark Status we will provide him the
information to make the public announcement.
Many others persons, for example Bon Jovi, Southside Johnny, Bill
Bradley, Yogi Berra, Mayor Dinkins, Avery Brooks, Buzz Aldrin and Bruce
Springsteen's Mom have our InfoAge bookmark.
BTW, a number of persons have told me Bruce Springsteen's Dad worked at
Camp Evans, in the REMBAS program. His Mom says he worked at Earle
Naval Weapons Depot. Case closed.
From our sister station in Chatham, Ma.
FRED CARL FROM MARCONI STATION IN BELMAR, NJ PRESENTS REPLICA OF
CHATHAM'S MISSING 1914 PLAQUE
Marconi Station in Belmar, NJ sends replica of 1914 Plaque to replace
Chatham Marconi's missing plaque.
Chuck Bartlett, CMMC board president, and Len Sussman, Chatham
Selectman, accept the plaque replica from Fred Carl, InfoAge, on April
15, 2009.
For
the whole story.
Click on the link to see the photo of our Township Committee with the
plaque, Bob Judge with his plaque and the presentation at Chatham.
We are in Emergency Stabilization mode now. We are attacking worse first.
We are making progress. I believe we have eliminated the major safety
hazards
We face the challenges of keeping the momentum of our regular activities
increasing and meeting the challenges of the additional grounds and
buildings.
*During the week... and weekend...*
---Nels W. and Pete R. went above - their normal above and beyond.
They mowed and "weed wacked" all around the hotel and 9032 so visitors
to the auction, shipwreck symposium and weekend at old Monmouth would be
impressed with the site - and they were.
----Then if that was not enough Nels cut nearly the entire new area
around the 'H' buildings and moved all sorts of stuff to improve the
look of the new area. Pete greeted visitors both Saturday and Sunday in
the Hotel.
- We discovered a hole in the boiler building (9033) roof. It it
repaired and the building re-roofed.
- We re-roofed the WW2 Firehouse (9031), the 60' by 60' WW2 Guard
Headquarters (9029) and the boiler building between them (9030). This
makes four more buildings that will not leak. Our total for the month
is 8 - yes eight buildings re-roofed.
- The Green Monster 7-UP soda machine has returned. It is in the Gate
one entrance building. Give it a dollar and you will get the soda of
your choice.
- Dan J. has been improving the Computer eduction center
***
In a review of the National Historic Landmark theme studies our site
could qualify for NHL status under three studies.
*Anyone want to start an application? *
The 'WW2 and the Homefront' study recommends Camp Evans as a potential NHL.
The Marconi Belmar Station could fit under the 'Travel and
Communications' theme in the wireless area.
The test of the regenerative circuit, Weagant's static elimination
advances and the Navy WWI communications center make the site NHL
significant.
Under the 'Man in Space' theme the TIROS ground control center, the
TLM-18 antenna, the mini-track calibration center, satellite tracking
starting with Sputnik, Explorer, Pioneer V and all US and Soviet
launches should qualify under the 'satellite tracking facilities chapter.
****Frank O. is uniquely suited to write this application and he will
attack it...
Infoage is an official Save America's Treasure's Project and we are a
Preserve America Steward organization. Wall Township is a Preserve
America Community

***** I will be asking someone to research these grants. I did one
grant for Save America in 2002 and one for Preserve America in 2005
(lots of paper) - but when they called about the status of the transfer
- all I could tell them way sorry the transfer has been delayed. As of
March 24th 4PM that all changed....and the bill was signed on the 30th...

Please remind me of things of have overlooked in this email. Please
excuse they items I have missed. No slight intended.
I get annoyed with myself as I ride up the Parkway to work and recall
many a good thing persons have done and I lost in my rush to get the
email out.
Another aspect of this is so many of you are doing so many things, I can
not keep up. In a way this is good.
This weekend (if it stops raining) we will really really really finish
the scratch coat on 9006. I purchased new concrete tools, so no need to
find the old ones. Steve has bags of sand mix somewhere...
Thank you,

We are hosting a regional PTA meeting in the dinning room so expected
new faces.
During the weekend we hosted Scout Troop 71 of Oakhurst, NJ lead by Don
Brockel. They were at InfoAge the 24th - 26th.
Thank you to:
Steve G. who coordinated the visit,
Dan L and Neil N. of the NJHDA who gave the boys a late night tour of
their Shipwreck museum.
Aaron, Dave S. and other NJARC who gave the boys a tour of the Radio
Technology museum
Ron O. and OMARC who gave the boys basic morse code lessons at the
Project Diana / TIROS site.
Neil N. of the EPA who gave the boys a Hazardous Materials Response
demo. Complete with tyvek suits and rubber gloves.
***The boys had a great time and they learned more than they realize.
The troop leaders were very pleased too.
***Upcoming events****
April 29th - We will host a PTA presidents meeting in our hotel to
encourage them to help InfoAge to help their kids and schools.
May 2nd - Radio Auction

May 9th - Sunday - 5:30PM InfoAge helps Wall Kiwanis at the Wall Stadium
50/50 raffle. Please let me know if you can help. This is fun
especially if you like auto racing.
The club has supported InfoAge for years. Until we received gifts
from large multi-national corporations the Wall Kiwanis was our best
support when few others had faith in us.
We are in Emergency Stabilization mode now. We are attacking worse first.
We are making progress. I believe we have eliminated the major safety
hazards
We face the challenges of keeping the momentum of our regular activities
increasing and meeting the challenges of the additional grounds and
buildings.
*During the week... and weekend...*
- OMARC celebrated International Marconi Day as an official event
station at the Project Diana / TIROS site.
- The Harley Davidson of Long Branch Shop students visited Camp Evans
for a tour.
- Ray C., and company were at work on Wednesday, this weekend and
Tuesday. They are were getting ready for the auction. The guys are
really working at getting ready. Ray used his charm and influence, so we
are fortunate to have Mr. Richard Estes of Estes Auction to lead the
bidding.
-Dan L. is working with the Breeze to create an InfoAge radio spot.
- Dan L. found a less expensive printer for the newsletter. Thank you
to Evan K. for proof reading.
- We discovered a hole in the boiler building (9033) roof. Now I know
why there was water on the floor. The hole was repaired and it was
re-roofed today.
- We completed the first coat of silver roof paint on 9092 and the tan
side walls have their first coat.
- We began painting 9029. We have a primer coat on two sides of this
60' by 60' WW2 structure. The pattern 105 shiplap wood siding has a 5
3/8 face. When the BRAC contractors removed the interiors to eliminate
the fungus infestation the bob-cat they used tore eight to ten holes in
the siding from the inside. They simply nailed plywood on the exterior
to cover the holes. The rain water leaking under the plywood warped and
rotted areas of the siding. As they were tearing out the electric wires
to scrap the copper they tore off the south east exterior corner
boards. We need to replace a 4 x 8 area. The BRAC contractors also
poured concrete down the toilet and sink sewer lines from the former
rest rooms. Given the building has a concrete slab floor getting the
plumbing working will be a challenge.
- We sorted salvaged drop ceiling parts to repair the ceilings in 9017.
The drop ceilings were heavily damaged as the BRAC contractors striped
the copper from the building. They will be moved from the 9032C hall to
9017 before the auction.
- The Steward School of Business donated seven white boards, 12
trapezoid shaped desks and cabinets. Thanks to Mike G. for getting most
of them.
- Bob Buus provided a complete electric layout of 9093. Our hope is to
have similar documents for each building.
-Bob Pilcher brought us a floor standing radiator for restoring the WW2
look to the foundry.
- The Green Monster 7-UP soda machine has returned. It used to live in
the Hotel lounge. In a reenactment of a scene from Disney's Gullivers
Travels it was removed from Camp Evans to the soda machine doctor.
The GSC - Bob J., Jules and company had it repaired and it is the
first machine in the 9093 vending room. Give it a dollar and you will
get the soda of your choice.
We were open Saturday and Sunday. Thanks to all who were on hand to
greet visitors. We have a constant stream of visitors. Thanks to Steve
G., Bernie R., Dave Sn., JoAnne B., Vince L., Dan L., Evan K., Neil N.,
Board of Trustee Member Larry T., and others
In a review of the National Historic Landmark theme studies our site
could qualify for NHL status under three studies.
*Anyone want to start an application? *
The 'WW2 and the Homefront' study recommends Camp Evans as a potential NHL.
The Marconi Belmar Station could fit under the 'Travel and
Communications' theme in the wireless area.
The test of the regenerative circuit, Weagant's static elimination
advances and the Navy WWI communications center make the site NHL
significant.
Under the 'Man in Space' theme the TIROS ground control center, the
TLM-18 antenna, the mini-track calibration center, satellite tracking
starting with Sputnik, Explorer, Pioneer V and all US and Soviet
launches should qualify under the 'satellite tracking facilities chapter.

If we do not tell kids what great things others have done to improve our
nation how can we expect them to know what they are capable of.
Please remind me of things of have overlooked in this email. Please
excuse they items I have missed. No slight intended.
I get annoyed with myself as I ride up the Parkway to work and recall
many a good thing persons have done and I lost in my rush to get the
email out.
Another aspect of this is so many of you are doing so many things, I can
not keep up. In a way this is good.
This weekend we will really finish the scratch coat on 9006. I
purchased new concrete tools, so no need to find the old ones. Steve
has bags of sand mix somewhere... We should earn the balance of the
MCHC grant payment before Randy G. retires.

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday April 22
Hello All,
We will have our regular meeting, on Wednesday, April 22nd at 6:45PM.
At our last meeting John K. from the Monmouth Council of Boy Scouts outlined their Camporee at InfoAge the 24th - 27th of April. Sadly, we will have just one troop staying the weekend. Too, many other activities scheduled
***Upcoming events****
April 29th - We will host a PTA presidents meeting in our hotel to encourage them to help InfoAge to help their kids and schools.
May 2nd - Radio Auction
May 2nd - Ship Wreck Symposium
May 2nd - Weekend in Old Monmouth - Day One
May 3rd - NJ Hall of Fame Installs Marconi - Tickets are available on their website.
May 3rd - Weekend in Old Monmouth - Day Two
We are in Emergency Stabilization mode now. We are attacking worse first. The utter shock of the conditions of the buildings and grounds is beginning to wear off.
We are making progress. I believe we have eliminated the major safety hazards
This Saturday and Sunday from 1:00PM to 3:00PM we will have our first general work sessions in the additional area. It will be racking - cleanup, removing boards from windows and noting things that need improvement.
Group Presidents - please encourage members to join in. As President Kennedy sort of said..."Ask not what InfoAge can do for you, ask what you can do for InfoAge".
We face the challenges of keeping the momentum of our regular activities increasing and meeting the challenges of the additional grounds and buildings.
*Status of tactical goals we set last meeting:*
1) This week 9017 was re-roofed. This is the two story WW2 Special Antenna Shelter build to house the mobile SCR-268 radar. It was reworked in the 1980s to house the Fire Finder Project.
2) To Secure the site and buildings as much as possible. Steve G. and
Nels have secured as many doors as possible. We are now looking for replacement doors for those the BRAC contractors disposed of. We had a some kinds break in this week. They did some minor damage. We need help securing the broken doors and replacing missing doors.
3) To Photo document the buildings to record their condition at transfer and for future reference. -We have this started and are making progress. Thank you to Dan L. and Neil N. and others for photo documenting and noting condition of more buildings.
4) To Begin emergency stabilization.
- Our next challenge is storm water drainage around the WW2 wooden buildings. Nels has continued removing debris on the grounds that can put our volunteers in danger from flying metal objects hit by mower blades. We will ask the scouts to help here.
5) Inspect the electrical system and work with JCP&L to improve our
costs.
We need to save electricity. Richard B., submitted the load requirements to JCP&L for the Diana/TIROS site to remove it from our main power grid. We are asking JCP&L to supply that area from their lines on the street. This will remove 6 transformers (600 KVA) from the site and eliminate a potential safety hazard.
*During the week...*
- Ray C., and company were at work on Wednesday.
- Dan L. and Evan K. visited the Harvard University Archives to access files relating to Camp Evans and the Harvard Radio Labs. The two labs worked together during the war. They are waiting for copies of over 30 documents from Harvard Copy Services.
As Dan, Evan and I were in Boston we met with Robert Johnson for dinner. Robert created the No Short Climb DVD.
- I visited the Chatham Marconi Station on Cape Cod to bring them the reproduction J. G. White Engineering Corporation Plaque Bob Judge made. They loved it. The story Dan Z. wrote for the Coast Star was excellent. I returned home with three photos of our station under construction from the personal photos of C. H. Taylor. Mr. Taylor was a
Marconi Co employee who helped in the construction of wireless station around the globe. The photos answered the question as to which direction the Henderson photo was taken.
- Architect Rich Grasso of the Glendola Lions Club is working on the 9032 restrooms plans to add additional facilities for our wheelchair visitors in keeping with the WW2 look.
-Dan L. is working with the Breeze to create an InfoAge radio spot.
- Verizon notified us we are listed on their employee website as an approved charity for their employees to consider volunteering with us.
- Dan L. has our next newsletter in review.
- There were two great articles in the Asbury Park Press and the Coaster on the NJHDA Shipwreck Museum progress and the upcoming symposium.- We submitted the one-day auction license form to Wall & I believe we are properly registered with the state to collect and submit sales tax during this auction.
-NJNG connected a gas line to 9059. The next step is to install the new heat/air unit.
-Rich Connor visited our site to let us know the film in which scenes were shot in the 9002 cottage will be opening in Viet Nam on their national holiday. Steve G. escorted Rich around the new area so Rich could take photos to interest other film companies to consider our site as a film location.
- Thanks to Mike G. networking - A week ago M. Gannon of Gannon Plumbing visited our hotel to determine if the heat zones could be fixed. He is doing this as a gift to InfoAge. Our BRAC 'friends' disabled them beyond repair. So they are researching if replacement unit are available.
*During the weekend...*
- Saturday Ray Chase and the NJARC hosted a great "Radar History" tutorial in 9059. An attendee, Paul M. donated a box of radar history books
We were open Sunday. Thanks to all who were on hand to greet visitors. We began the painting of 9092. This metal building can be seen from Monmouth Bl. Painting it shows all who drive by that improvements are being made. This structure appears to be a SCR-271 equipment shelter similar to the one at Fort Sherman that guarded the entrance to the
Panama Canal. We have been told it was used during WW2 to test fighter plane instrument panels for explosion resistance. It had a special explosion chamber. When a failure occurred the exploding air-plane fuel would be safely contained, but the noise would cause many of the draftsman working in 9010D ruin their ink drawings. Later a new design chamber was placed in a new building near Watson road. 9092 then housed
a dust infiltration test chamber.
We cleaned years of pine needle debris out of the 9011D gutters and we removed more vines from the Monmouth Bl fence.
In a review of the National Historic Landmark theme studies our site could qualify for NHL status under three studies. *Anyone want to start an application? *

Frank O. is uniquely suited to write this application and he will attack it...
This weekend we were in shock and did not even think to finish the scratch coat on 9006. Soon we will knock this off to earn the balance of the MCHC grant payment.
****Something with very positive potential: ****
Please note: Infoage is an official Save America's Treasure's Project and we are a Preserve America Steward organization. Wall Township is a Preserve America
Community
President Barack Obama signed the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 on March 30, which included authorization for Preserve America and Save America's Treasures grants.
In addition to the grants, the law codifies the designation of Preserve America Communities as one of the entities eligible to apply for grants. It gives the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) the responsibility to establish any necessary guidelines for the designation process in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior. The ACHP is also specifically directed to establish an expedited process for Preserve America Community designation for Certified Local Governments that are established under the National Historic Preservation Act.
The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) urges Preserve America Communities, Preserve America Presidential Award winners or aspirants, Preserve America Stewards and local heritage preservation organizations to create local service learning and/or community service opportunities for students and school systems across the United States.
The concept is simple: use local heritage resources that can benefit from meaningful volunteer efforts to create community service opportunities for students in ways that are integral to their educational progress and fill real community needs.
The ACHP, its members and partners--Learn and Serve America (part of the Corporation for National and Community Service) and Heritage Education Services of the National Park Service--are leading the effort to use local heritage resources to widen public appreciation for history and preservation and involve youth in meaningful community service.
To learn how service learning can benefit preservation organizations and local communities and understand how to create such opportunities with local schools, click here.
To learn more about the overall effort and the ACHP's participation click here. The ACHP would like to hear from you. If you already have a service learning project underway and would consider sharing your experiences, please e-mail the ACHP with brief information on the project and contact information for learning more here .

When a failure occurred the exploding air-plane fuel would be safely contained, but the noise would cause many of the draftsman working in 9010D ruin their ink drawings. Later a new design chamber was placed in a new building near Watson road. 9092 then housed
a dust infiltration test chamber.
We cleaned years of pine needle debris out of the 9011D gutters and we removed more vines from the Monmouth Bl fence.
In a review of the National Historic Landmark theme studies our site could qualify for NHL status under three studies. *Anyone want to start an application? *
The 'WW2 and the Homefront' study recommends Camp Evans as a potential NHL.
The Marconi Belmar Station could fit under the 'Travel and Communications' theme in the wireless area.
The test of the regenerative circuit, Weagant's static elimination advances and the Navy WWI communications center make the site NHL significant.
Under the 'Man in Space' theme the TIROS ground control center, the TLM-18 antenna, the mini-track calibration center, satellite tracking starting with Sputnik, Explorer, Pioneer V and all US and Soviet launches should qualify under the 'satellite tracking facilities chapter. Frank O. is uniquely suited to write this application and he will attack it...
This weekend we were in shock and did not even think to finish the scratch coat on 9006. Soon we will knock this off to earn the balance of the MCHC grant payment.
****Something with very positive potential: ****
Please note: Infoage is an official Save America's Treasure's Project and we are a Preserve America Steward organization. Wall Township is a Preserve America
Community
President Barack Obama signed the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 on March 30, which included authorization for Preserve America and Save America's Treasures grants.
In addition to the grants, the law codifies the designation of Preserve America Communities as one of the entities eligible to apply for grants. It gives the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) the responsibility to establish any necessary guidelines for the designation process in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior. The ACHP is also specifically directed to establish an expedited process for Preserve America Community designation for Certified Local Governments that are established under the National Historic Preservation Act.
The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) urges Preserve America Communities, Preserve America Presidential Award winners or aspirants, Preserve America Stewards and local heritage preservation organizations to create local service learning and/or community service opportunities for students and school systems across the United States.
The concept is simple: use local heritage resources that can benefit from meaningful volunteer efforts to create community service opportunities for students in ways that are integral to their educational progress and fill real community needs.
The ACHP, its members and partners--Learn and Serve America (part of the Corporation for National and Community Service) and Heritage Education Services of the National Park Service--are leading the effort to use local heritage resources to widen public appreciation for history and preservation and involve youth in meaningful community service.

***** I will be asking someone to research these grants. I did one grant for Save America in 2002 and one for Preserve America in 2005 (lots of paper) - but when they called about the status of the transfer - all I could tell them way sorry the transfer has been delayed. As of March 24th 4PM that all changed....and the bill was signed on the 30th...
*Reasons to tell persons why to donate to our effort NOW: *
1) Saves an incredibly historic site
2) Honors WWII Signal Corps and Honor Front veterans
3) Helps education by inspiring kids to learn science
4) Furthers the development of a NJ Shore tourist destination.
5) Will create full and part-time employment
6) Improves property values in the North Wall and Shark River area.
7) We are the White House recognized stewards of the Camp Evans Historic District and now it is under our protection for future generations

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday April 15
Hello All,
We will have our regular meeting, on Wednesday, April 15th at 6:45PM.
At our last meeting John K. from the Monmouth Council of Boy Scouts outlined their Camporee at InfoAge the 24th - 27th of April. During this meeting we will go over the tours or other activities we can provide during the event.
With the transfer we have been very busy. Lots going on. This report will be missing some detail. We face the challenges of keeping the momentum of our regular activities
increasing and meeting the challenges of the additional grounds and buildings.
We are in Emergency Stabilization mode now. We are attacking worse first. Thank you to those who are helping to find the roof leaks, and other challenges we have with the building.
*Status of tactical goals we set last meeting:*
1) Our safety walk around to find, fix or label any safety hazards.
-The status of the electrocution hazard in 9035. On Thursday a contractor repaired the damaged roof structure, and replaced the tar-paper and shingles.
The contractor also re-roofed 9400. This historic structure is the site of the Special technical unit that used seismic wave detection equipment to monitor Soviet nuclear tests. It is also the building the Army refused Sen. Joe McCarthy's demands to allow his staff entry into a top secret project.
The contractor also re-roofed 9057, the two bay garage will also be re-roofed to help the town quiet a continuing complaint on its condition.
This week 9017 will be re-roofed. This is the two story WW2 Special Antenna Shelter build to house the mobile SCR-268 radar. It was reworked in the 1980s to house the Fire Finder Project.
2) To Secure the site and buildings as much as possible.
Steve G. and Nels have secured as many doors as possible. We are now looking for replacement doors for those the BRAC contractors disposed of.
3) To Photo document the buildings to record their condition at transfer and for future reference.
-We have this started, but safety issues were more important. Thank you to Dan L. and Neil N. and others for photo documenting more buildings.
4) To Begin emergency stabilization.
- We had roofs replaced this week. We also did some patches in two section of the 'H' buildings. With this weekends rain we found many more leaks in the 'H' building roofs. Pete R., Nels, Dan L., and Neil N. when throughout the buildings with a 16' 1x2 with a paint brush marking the roof leaks with yellow paint. There are over twenty known
leaks. Wind and rain from another direction will show more leaks. We may have to replace the 'H' buildings roofs sooner than later.
- Our next challenge is storm water drainage around the WW2 wooden buildings. Nels has continued removing debris on the grounds that can put our volunteers in danger from flying metal objects hit by mower blades. We will ask the scouts to help here.
5) Inspect the electrical system and work with JCP&L to improve our costs. We need to save electricity.
-Dave Sn., Richard B., and I will met with a JCP&L layout tech on Wednesday to survey the Diana/TIROS site to remove it from our main power grid. We are asking JCP&L to supply that area from their lines on the street. The tech agreed with Richard B. that a set of transformers can be placed across the street. This will remove 6 transformers (600 KVA) from the site and eliminate a potential safety hazard.
*During the week...*
Ray C., and company were at work on Wednesday.
Bob P. and staff made electrical repairs in 9059. A GFI outlet was
added to 9059.
Architect Rich Grasso of the Glendola Lions Club was given the measurements of the 9032 restrooms to add additional facilities for our wheelchair visitors in keeping with the WW2 look.
Dave Sica is adding this past weeks email and future ones to the InfoAge blog.
Dave also organized video equipment in the former gift shop room.
*During the weekend...*
The NJARC had a well attended meeting. Thank you to President Richard Lee for allowing me to address the group to ask for help
On Sunday we were closed for Easter.
This week Dan L. is working on our Newsletter.
Dan L. and Evan K. will be visiting Boston to research Marconi and WW2 countermeasures history at the Harvard archives. They will be driving together to save $$. What dedication. Six hours one way!!!
We will deliver the reproduction of the "J.G. White Engineering Corporation" Builders plaque to our friends at the Chatham Marconi Station. Thanks to Bob Judge for another great work. Bob also made the model of the Marconi Hotel that was displayed in the White House during the year the SAVE AMERICA'S TREASURES projects were invited to send models of their buildings to raise awareness of the excellent preservation efforts around the country.
We saved 12 WW2 interior doors from the buildings which Brookdale will demolish. We will use these to replace the modern doors in 9032C to return the WW2 look and feel. This building will be our WW2 home-front exhibit in the future.
Thank you to Terry L. for earning her second Junior Fire Marshal badge.
*Upcoming events to plan for...
April 18th - Tutorial #3 - Dr. Ray Chase tells the history of radar
The Monmouth Boy scouts want to hold their *Camporee at InfoAge on April 24th - 26th*. Lots of scouts. Lot of opportunity to educate and Inspire. We need to plan this BIG ONE.

***I must run*** More items in next weeks mail.
