For a definitive answer in the 73 or 73s or 73's debate....

"73" means "Best Wishes" (which effectively gets rid of the "It should be
Best 73" thread.
After all, this would be tautology "Best Best 73" is nonsense, at best.
Secondly, "Best Wishes" is already a plural (wishES not wish!), so it can't
be 73s
Nor is it owned by anyone, nor is any letter or letters missing, therefore
73's is wrong too.

Another advantage is 73 takes only two keystrokes and two syllables, thus
saving energy
(which is a major concern these days)
