there were x-CB'ers. nothing wrong with that. they will get it right as time goes by.... I've been a HAM for 36 years and started in CB.... I think the proper term for that is two words.

"seven three" no "s" It seems a little odd for people to get stuffy about 73 vs 73's, when both are designed for Morse CW. If you are speaking, neither is "correct". - Mike KB3EIA - |

Of course I have only been licensed for 52 years, so I will have defer to those more senior than me. Dick - W6CCD |

He probably doesn't use CW or he would realize that "73" is always used on CW, but on phone it is quite commonly stated as "73s" whether the whiners like it or not! Merry holidays! |

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) Paul AB0SI "Marty B." wrote in message .net... 73 OR 73`ss IN AMATEUR RADIO WE SHOULD USE 73 .
