Camp Evans
Encyclopedia
Camp Evans, New Jersey
is a former military base associated with Fort Monmouth
. It is located in Wall Township
, although it is often said to be located in Belmar
(its postal zip code
is Belmar's, although it lies outside the borough). The property overlooks the Shark River
.
Camp Evans is named after Lt. Col. Paul Wesley Evans of the Signal Corps, who worked in the development of wireless transmission at the Belmar Station in the early 20th century. After World War I
, Evans was reassigned to the Panama Canal Zone
as the presiding Signal Officer.

's "wireless girdle" around the Earth. It was then known as the Belmar Station (40.1859°N 74.0594°W). The Wall Station served as Marconi
's receiving station, "duplexed" with his New Brunswick
(40.5153°N 74.4889°W) high power transmitting station. An operator in Wall keyed the New Brunswick transmitter, 32 miles to the northwest, through a landline connection. Edwin Armstrong

at the Wall site, on the night of January 31/February 1, 1914.
entered World War I
in April 1917. Early in the war, Albert H. Taylor
, later the father of Naval radar, was in charge of all transatlantic communications, including the Belmar and New Brunswick stations as well as the transmitter stations in Tuckerton, New Jersey
and Marion, MA; and the receiver stations in Chatham, MA and Otter Cliffs, ME
. On January 8, 1918, President Woodrow Wilson
's Fourteen Points
speech was transmitted by the New Brunswick Naval Radio Station to Germany's Nauen Radio Station
. In October Wilson's appeal for the abdication or overthrow of Kaiser Wilhelm II was sent through the powerful New Brunswick station.
) in October 1919. RCA sold the Wall site in 1924, when they consolidated all of their transatlantic receivers at their new Riverhead Receiver Station on Long Island, New York. The historic New Brunswick transmitter site served as an important communications link to the United Kingdom during both world wars.

. A unit designed by Camp Evans engineers detected enemy planes 50 minutes before the bombing of Pearl Harbor
. Camp Evans radar was a major factor in the U.S. victory during World War II
.
After World War II, the Army kept Camp Evans as a research facility. The base was part of Project Paperclip, under which German scientists and engineers were relocated and employed by the U.S. Army, including Wernher von Braun
. Project Diana
opened the space age
, showing that radio waves could pierce the ionosphere
. This proved that communication was possible between the Earth and space, opening the possibility of space exploration. Other contributions included work on light-emitting diode
s, night vision goggles
, and many other important developments.
Senator Joseph McCarthy
, Roy Cohn
, and others came to Camp Evans on October 20, 1953. McCarthy claimed that the Army's "house of magic" was really a "house of spies." Julius Rosenberg was executed for supposedly stealing radar
and proximity fuze
information from Fort Monmouth
while working there as an electrical engineer in the 1940s. (Documents released by Russia after the Cold War
showed that Mr. Rosenberg was indeed, a Soviet Spy.) McCarthy's visit destroyed careers and led to the creation of the "leper colony" - where those who could no longer be trusted with top secret information worked. None of the Camp Evans employees whom McCarthy investigated in 1953 and 1954 were ever prosecuted.

Camp Evans played an important role in the development of the silicon
