Field Day 2004 was held on June 25-27, 2004. A small band of amateur radio enthusiasts gathered at Castle Rock State Park. We had one HF station. Thank you to everyone who helped to plan and make the 2004 Field Day a success and to everyone who joined us.

Directions: The Castle Rock State Park site is on the left, one mile south of Hwy 9 on Skyline (Summit) Road. (See location data below and topo map.) The entrance road angles to the left at 30 degrees so you have to turn around in the road turnout just beyond the entrance on the right. Look for the SARA Field Day sign!
Here's the onsite satellite location info:
- Call Box number SC-35-131 (on Skyline, turnout on the right, just the past entrance to the park. From the turnout, do a u-turn and then the next right into the driveway.)
