Swan Island is NOT NOT NOT Swain Island. I have a qsl and actually a deleted country credit (I think) in the name of Swan Island which was KS4 and is in the Carribean. Swain Island is in the Pacific. There is no correlation between the two.

Anyone have anything different? As for 73, it goes way back to the days of predominantly CW. 73 is/was an on the air exchange at the end of a CW QSO and means "best regards", and it chaps my grouchy old fanny when people write 73's. 73 is already plural, and by adding 's to it, it translates to best regardses. Just another Amateur Radio tradition being polluted and lost. 73, Mike, W5UC At 06:41 PM 4/13/2007, Charles Harpole wrote: >Pardon my ignorance... but what is the correct prefix for Swan I. >?
