This achievement make really happy and proud of it the operators of the Bra ARI Section, we would like to thank all participants, organizers and why not also the propagation, as it was poor but gladly workable at least.

A lot of peoples make remarkable results all over the world, it was a pleasure to compete bot directly and indirectly with al those OM's. Each time we went reading numbers we where much pushed to do better, quite a marvel on these days of poor propagation.

Now we need to name the authors of this little and not arming crime, namely the two that many of you had the patience to work, soon learned:

Mario IK1HNX e Salvo IW1AYD

But the list does not stop there. Those two individually went on operate IQ1RY. But in addition to the operators of the moment, each OM section of the Section has collaborated in various ways and with their experience to the achievement of this nice result.
The two of us alone couldn't even think to participate so well doing and, least of all, to win without the support of the entire section of Bra. The setup and the care for the whole infrastructure has clearly shown again as a winning element.

Pleased and very happy to have participated in this 44th edition of the Volta RTTY Contest, we hope to see all of you in the 45th, all together again. Wishing to the Volta Contest his year by year partecipants and his staff the longest and fruitful continuation.

Just to remember the Volta RTTY Contest is one of the oldest events on air.

IQ1RY, the ARI Bra will be pleased to put its air operators in several other contests and other ways in addition to RTTY.

BTW we operated a station made around "standard" items owned by us or borrowed for the event. Almost all are well know by anybody of us, for example the RTX chain was built whit a IC-756PROII, a MicroHam MultiKeyer II and a ACOM 2000.
After this contest we started to use SDR, FLEX-3000 for the records and we appreciated a lot. We would stay on the SDR, and is proper setup for RTTY, for the next events. The PROIII will have a well deserved place in ours hearth and minding.

So, no more talk and, to all, be ready for the next Contest: CU on air!
