Morse Code "Love & Kisses"

Morse code 88 "Love and Kisses" is a friendly shorthand used by radio operators and sailors to mean “love and kisses.”

It’s part of a tradition where numbers replaced long phrases to save time and keep things playful over the air.

Sailor’s note: Just like “73” means "Best regards" and “99” means "Go away", “88” - "Love & Kisses" added a personal touch, often closing messages between friends or family.

Today, it’s still sometimes used in amateur radio and by Morse enthusiasts as a charming reminder of how human warmth fits even into dots and dashes.
