73,
Is that a number, a misplaced number, or did I break my encoding

It's ham parlance, CW shorthand, that basically means "seeya, have a
good one".
Actually it means "Regards" or "Best Regards".
Oh good heavens. Same sentiment...and used in exactly that way since well before either
of us were born.

Actually, I always thought 73's was an unconscious binary genetic implant,
with the intented result that all ham's would always have a burning desire
to own a PDP-11/73. ;-)
73's,
