Rino Liguoro (Italy)

My  name’s Rino LIGUORO, I was born in 1973, in Torre del Greco near Naples. Thanks to my dad Vittorio (Radio Officer and ham as well), I commenced pretty early to be interested in radio communications field achieving a great deal of cw dx in teenage years. In 1991, during last the year of secondary school, I passed exams in Rome obtaining the 1st class R/O licence. My first ship was an Italian small bulk carrier abt 8000 tdw, voyages were mostly north Europe, west Africa and the Mediterranean.  One of the funniest thing, I can’t help of saying it,  was first qso with my father while he was on watch on 8 Mhz in Genova Radio/icb, I teased him mildly using c/s of  his first ship…hi. Even if this profession was very short for me, at least only six months, It was definitely one of the  greatest  experiences of my life.
