Serious question. What does "73" mean?

I have a stack of "73"mags. I'm not a ham however.
If I was, I of course would know.

Anybody? I know it's a stupid question, but I don't know.

TIA,

Dennis

"73" = "Best Regards"
"88" = "Love and Kisses"

do a Google for something called the "Phillips Code" which will show you
about a gazillion abreviations. It was used by WIRE telegraphers, as
opposed to wire-less (radio) CW.

Also HAM = "Had-Alota-Money" (before i got into this hobby) :-)
