Vinnie, I contacted the NJ State Police a few weeks ago, and they just got
back to me - they agreed to look for a communications officer to come out
and visit, but no one is available next weekend. They said to keep sending
an invite for future events, because they'd like to participate some day.
Sorry I couldn't help more! Just wanted to keep you in the loop.

I'll ask my son if he wants to come down to operate. He's said he's been
interested in operating before. He is not able to get a COVID vaccine
yet, nor can any kids his age right now. If you are not vaccinated, I ask
that you please maintain appropriate social distance to keep any visiting
kids safe. No one needs to know your private health information (keep that
on 75m hihi), but being aware that some kids are still more susceptible to
the virus and maintaining a bit of distance will keep things safe and fun
for the ever important next generation of hams.

Thanks! Can't wait to get down there!
