I've been a HAM for 36 years and started in CB.... I think the proper term for that is two words. "seven three" no "s" It seems a little odd for people to get stuffy about 73 vs 73's, when both are designed for Morse CW.

Of course I have only been licensed for 52 years, so I will have defer to those more senior than me. Dick - W6CCD |
