Hi Danny.....

The 7 3 is a carry over from CW (Morse Code) days when telegraphers would 
end their conversations (QSO's) with 7 3, meaning Best Wishes or Regards or 
some other salutation.
When sent in Morse, it has a nice rhythmic sound to it (da dah di di dit  di 
di di dah dah). One should never add an ess (S) to it, as many seem to do 
nowadays.

Cheers and GL (Good Luck)
