Talk:73/@comment-25315719-20140817155701

73 was the 'short code' for good luck in Morse code. I inherited this lucky number from my late Father who was a radio ham.

Once at a charity dinner on the 13th anniversary of his death (Oct 14th), I bought the 73 tombola ticket and won a bottle of Bourbon. It isn't everyone whose Dad gets him a posthumous drink.

Also, my late Mother chose 66, which is 'love and kisses' in the same short code. Mum and Dad once won both raffles on the same company day trip with them.
