Comments:

We did a bit better than last year. This year we were able to operate the whole 24 hours.
We got a new 756POII on Friday night to replace the 775DSP but decide that we would use the IC-756 which we already knew how to operate and was setup with narrow CW filter for RTTY. It is hooked to a AL-82 and we ran about 1200 watts.

So the New 756PROII and Henry 4K sat unused at the other position.
It didnt seem to matter. Our best was on 80 meters from 0300Z to 0700Z (3hours) running on the same freq. And then to get the European opening, 1400Z to 1600Z running on 14103MHZ. Multipliers are hard to come by in this contest.

Writelog, MMTTY and the computer all ran without any problems. Did lose the 40 meter beam on Saturday evening and had to use the dipole.

Thanks for all that worked the 'BEARS'
