<VV> Ham question-No Corvair

[Dave Keillor]

Yes, Larry is correct.  73 is used at the end of message as a "sign-off".
Not all females are YLs, a married woman is an XYL.

Actually, as I recall, 73 means "best regards" and it is the plural form, so
the term 73s is technically incorrect.  Also, all guys are OM for Old Man
and all females are YL for Young Lady.
