Hi Doug,

If you're serious...72 is used by some "QRP" operators in line with
using less power - 72 is less than 73. I'm a QRP op but I haven't ever
used "72". I regard operating with less power as just part of normal
operations. I also haven't used '88' as I don't really know any of the
YLs on the air well enough for kisses.

73,
