I am not sure to whom you directed your question to, but allow me answer. A lot of terms when used in casual conversation rather than for their original intend use, tend to get perverted. Yes, "73" was originally part of the Phillips code and was in fact a numeric. But no where, ANYWHERE, is it written that one should not use it in the pural even if the literal translation would mean something like, "Best, Best Regards" or what have you. And, I believe, that fact that Maxim himself used it that way is indicative that it is in fact, "OK", to be used in such a manner and has been for 100+ years now. 73 - Bill KA8VIT > On June 23, 2014 at 10:13 AM Ernie Rice <ranger2...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Really?
