When disaster strikes, and conventional communication systems fail, amateur ham radio operators step in to bridge the gap, providing a crucial link between those in affected areas and the outside world.

Doesn’t 73 mean “best regards” and SK just mean “end of contact”? I see that SK can also colloquially mean that an operator is deceased, though. Genuinely curious, not familiar with the hobby.

I don’t know anybody who uses SK as end of contact. I’ve always heard it referred to as the operator being deceased.
