[Fists] Number Exchanges

[Joe Dubeck]

Dear FISTS

I've always assumed that FISTS numbers must be exchanged on the air to 
count for awards (like Ten-Ten numbers), but then I've seen postings here 
from members critical of calling "CQ FISTS" because chasing numbers should 
be secondary to enjoying CW QSOs.  Lately I've become a lot more active and 
have worked many stations on CW without any exchange of numbers, but later 
have FISTS numbers pop up when I enter the QSOs in my LOGic log.  Do they 
count for awards?

I've read many sections of the FISTS web site but haven't found any rules 
on this subject.
