Red,
Not to be picky but it's Swains Island. Your right that Swan Island was
deleted back in 1972. It now counts for Honduras (HR).

Swan Island is NOT NOT NOT Swain Island. I have a qsl and actually a
deleted country credit (I think) in the name of Swan Island which was KS4
and is in the Carribean. Swain Island is in the Pacific. There is no
correlation between the two.

Charles, I believe that Swan Is belongs to the US., and the correct
prefix is KH8/S. Anyone have anything different?
As for 73, it goes way back to the days of predominantly CW. 73
is/was an on the air exchange at the end of a CW QSO and means "best
regards", and it chaps my grouchy old fanny when people write 73's.
73 is already plural, and by adding 's to it, it translates to best
regardses. Just another Amateur Radio tradition being polluted and lost.
73,
Mike, W5UC
