WWFF KFF-1623 Liberty State Park

I've been itching to do an activation! My travel schedule for work has been light, which is awesome because when I'm not traveling, I get to work from home, so I've had lots of family time.  
Not traveling does however, mean that I don't do quite as much activating.  With that said, I am making a trip to our New York City office for a couple days at the beginning of the week, next week.  I'll be staying in New Jersey, and plan on activating from Liberty State Park each afternoon/evening when my work for the day is done.
Before everyone gets too excited, this is Liberty State Park - NOT Ellis Island or where the statue of Liberty is located (A much rarer park, for obvious reasons!) Basically, this park is on the Jersey Side of the River, where you can park to catch a ferry out to the islands. Since this will be a drive-in drive-out, operating from the mobile activation, I probably won't be able to do much CW, but if things go well and work out, I'll probably try to sneak in a few code contacts on the second evening.
I'll also be trying a different logging program on this activation from what I normally use, and if that goes well, I'll write up the details afterwords and give everyone my feedback - I expect this method to be just what I need for WWFF (including easy Park-to-Park logging!), no more, no less.
June 5th 21:00 UTC  - June 7th 02:00 UTC
We're you might hear me:
20 Meter Voice, and maybe a bit of CW
40 Meter Voice, and maybe a b it of CW
and an off chance for 15 meters and/or 80 meters depending on time and conditions.

Watch the Facebook Group and the Cluster for updates on the day of the activation!

you mentioned you would be in Liberty Park on the NJ side of the river.
not Ellis Island where the Statue Of Liberty is located, I looked this up please don't take it wrong but The statue is situated in Upper New York Bay on Liberty Island, south of Ellis Island. my understanding is you will be mobile in NJ.
Thanks for heads up I will try and work you when I get home from my tour of duty at the Local VA hospital radio room.

Thanks for the correction Larry! Not being from the area, I do get the islands associated with the Statue and the park confused. You are correct though, I'll be operating mobile from the park in NJ. With any luck I'll hear you in the air!
