Marty:

73 or 73s .. the idea is the same and neither reduces intelligibility.

Name or handle... the idea is the same and neither reduces intelligibility.
Personally, I usually say "I hight Paul." After all, this is more
classically than either Name or Handle. It does reduce intelligibility, of
course, but that seems to be a small price to pay in exchange for being
correct.

73(s)
