Mark,
I never call "CQ FISTS" unless it's a FISTS contest; and that may be
what you heard. When there's a contest going on, everyone has to spread
out a bit.
Mosts FISTS will QSO with anyone, whether they're a FISTS member or
not, Heck, it's a good recruitment tool! Unfortunately, I have heard
of instances where fellow FISTS, hellbent on collecting FISTS numbers,
have refused and have only hurriedly QSOd with a non-member.
Fortunately, I can count the number of times I have heard this on the
fingers of one hand.
For the most part, the folks I know from FISTS are 'salt of the earth"
types of folks and will QRS to a slower speed, if you need.
