The answer to that is NO.
While there may be some FISTS members that want to only exchange
numbers, the vast majority of them are ready and willing to ragchew.
In fact, I'd bet most of them would rather make a contact, then to
continually be calling CQ FISTS.

I think that part of the confusion is that many people, when
hearing CD DX or
CQ DE or CQ TEST or CQ WHATEVER have the impression that the
station calling
only wants to have a QSO of the type specified. CQ DX is probably
the best example....I would never answer a CQ DX call from a US
station.
While the personal statements of many FISTS members has indicated
they are more than willing to QSO with non-FISTS members, unless
one has read their statements, one is back to square one...is CQ
FISTS like CQ DX (I only want to QSO with a specific type of
station) or some other meaning.
