72?

[Ian Stirling, G4ICV, AB2GR]

  I have seen this only on this Elecraft list.
It's not something that I know and probably
Modesty and Willie didn't.
 What does '72' mean?

Some QRP enthusiasts adopted it as a special version of "73" (Best Regards)
to identify a QRP station.

I'm sure it's intended as a QRPer's "Best Regards" and not as, "Best
Regards, only a little less"<G>

A qrp'er saying 73's
(confusing, ain't it?)
Don't know how it started but if someone signs 72's they are a qrp station
saying........ yep, 73's..

I believe that RV3GM coined the term years ago as
"wishing you good QRP"

If some signs 71 it is generally a QRPp ( less than a watt, KA8MaV is
generally credited for this one) station
