If you are referring to "73", it means "best regards", so you will find it 
used at the end of QSO's on the air or  as you have seen on e-mail lists 
where hams gather.

There is another one used either  by or to a YL ( young lady) "88" which 
means "hugs and kisses"

73, and if  I may be so brazen, 88,   Steve KW3A
