Guest Zyz Posted October 29, 2000 Share Posted October 29, 2000 Just started searching for caches this weekend, went on 4 searches, and found 3. I noticed things in the logbook like "thanks and 73" Whats the 73 all about, is this akin to the 10 code cb'ers use? Where can I find a list of other codes? also, noticed some sort of ID number... ie: "n90gc" any ideas on this? This was alot of fun, specially for a VERY first timer. I got a couple more questions, but dont wanna overwhelm anyone right off the bat, I figure these q's are just the right amount of 'whelm' thanks Quote Link to comment
Guest Mike F Posted October 30, 2000 Share Posted October 30, 2000 Not positive, but I think 73 is a HAM code. Wasn't there a HAM radio magazine called 73? Quote Link to comment
Guest Mike_Teague Posted October 30, 2000 Share Posted October 30, 2000 yeah.. its something like that.. a HAM-ism.. i forget what it exactly means... Quote Link to comment
Guest tarterus Posted November 1, 2000 Share Posted November 1, 2000 yes 73's is an amateur radio code. it means> signing off, good luck , thanks , best wishes . normaly the correct"code phrase" is > 99's and 73's (i.e.) best wishes or good luck to you and yours. 73's by itself just means good luck . it's always used as the last tranmission to a station. the N9OGC is more then likely this hams call sign ( i.e.) FCC license. you can find more information on the morse and Q codes at> http://www.arrl.com and yes 73 magazine was once printed however the arrl ( american radio relay league) i am not a member 99's and 73's Quote Link to comment
