Yeah accept 73 at one point use to mean hugs and kisses. Now it's been 
completely changed.

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
