thank you very much 73

No No No -- it is 73s as you are sending best wishes to all that replied
(;-)

Just kiddin -- it is indeed just 73

But try convincing about half of the 680,000 USA Hams who always use 73s or
seventy thirds.
Just think you could become famous as the 73 person, correcting every QSO,
NG, and forum everywhere.

Incidently you all might want to read where 73 really came from and it has
nothing to do with the Winchester 73 rifle (;-)

Then to really stir the pot -- is it "seven three" or "seventy three" ???
(;-(
Or does anyone care?

Send it in CW and ya can't go wrong (;-)
