2005 Field Day
Field Day 2006
 
Field Day 2005 was held on June 25-26, 2005 and the event was a great success. We held the event at Castle Rock State Park. A lot of preparation and organization was put into our 2005 Field Day event. You can find out more about the rules for Field Day 2005, here. We had four stations: 2 HF stations, 1 GOTA station and one station that did VHF/UHF/Satellite. Thank you to everyone who helped to plan and make the 2005 Field Day a success and to everyone who joined us.

A site survey was held on the morning of April 2, 2005, on location. After the site survey it was determined that we would need a day to clean it up. Clean Up Day, held on Saturday, June 4, 2005, at 9:00 AM, was a great success! We removed several bags of trash, pieces of old rusty metal, and swept and washed out the blockhouses. We also painted over the grafitti adorning at least one of the blockhouses. It is now sporting a new shade of institutional pastel green.

The following meals were provided on site:

  • Friday Dinner
  • Saturday Breakfast
  • Saturday Lunch
  • Saturday Dinner
  • Sunday Breakfast

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.)
  • 2743 ft elevation
  • 37.24652 Lat North
  • 122.10936 Long West
