Hej, Jens!

73 is the code number for "Best Regards" in a commonly-used 
ham radio brevity code; 88 is "Love & kisses" in that same 
code, and so you'll find it used less frequently here.

<http://www.ac6v.com/morseaids.htm> gives commonly-used brevity
codes and prosigns, and <http://www.qsl.net/w5www/73.html> has 
more on those topics.
