[quote:Anonymous Coward 76268413:MV8zNzYzOTA3XzY3NTQzMDQ1XzkyREExRkZC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 2461293:MV8zNzYzOTA3XzY3NTQyODM3Xzg1M0FERUNE] We say 73's on the HAM radio. [/quote] The usage of "73" for such a purpose comes from the Phillips Code, originally devised in the era of telegraphs to speed up transmission of common messages by mapping them to numbers. [b]"73" mapped to "best regards" or "my compliments" and was intended as a general valediction for transmitted messages.[/b] It is still used for that purpose today in morse code transmissions and often makes its way into everyday correspondence among hams as a form of jargon. So 73 means message transmitted - is that correct? [/quote]
