BEST REGARDS

Serious question. What does "73" mean?
Dennis

In olden days when sending messages via Morse code (CW) there were many
messages that were the same. There were many greetings and endings which
were also the same. It saved time to have a standard list of message numbers
and just send the numbers.

88 = Love and Kisses

There are all kinds such as "I'm OK. Arrived safely" and the like. I have a
list @home. arrl.org probably has the whole list on their web pages
somewhere.

I don't know what 74 is, but my dad (W9EHS) always said "74, one better than
anybody else".
