Subject: RE: On the other 86





I haven't been a radio ham in 40 yrs, but the AARL handbook usaed to have

numeral expressions (e.g. "88" = love & kisses) which were originally used in

telegraphy. Perhaps 86 is one of those, but I'm only guessing. The only

context I've ever seen it is on resturant menus.
