> FISTS is an international society for the preservation of Morse code 
> (which, if there were any justice in the world, would be called the Vail 
> code).  Members tend to congregate 50 to 55 KHz above the bottom of the 
> band.  You can join (can't remember the price), and you get a number 
> which you can exchange with other members for various forms of fame (no 
> fortune, unfortunately).  My number is 11151.  FISTS members will 
> usually match your speed so it's a fairly good way to get in some CW 
> practice if you need it.

> No.  SOC is the joke.  My SOC number is 633, although it doesn't seem to 
> matter much except in the SOC marathon, where it also doesn't seem to 
> matter.  SOC does not do fame or fortune.
