[SOC] SOC Digest, Vol 198, Issue 7

[Tom Horton]

I did it again ,huh... been hangin with those other guys too long. And I ain't even an A1 OP.
There was a Class A Operator's club that I was a member of a long long time ago. It went belly up I guess. Maybe too many of them really went to the A1Ops.
 Sorry Hans... I will be quiet for a while.

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)
