I have solved the problem by modifying and importing the comprehensive FISTS 
membership list into my logging program.  I set up dummy records for a date/time 
well before my ham radio start date.  The records show the call, name and FISTS 
number (updated with CC numbers as they are received.) I add members as they are 
notified in Key Note and the other FISTS newsletters.

When I enter a call for a station it tells me immediately if he is a FISTS 
member.  This is particularly useful when working well outside the FISTS calling 
frequencies

Let me know if I can help anyone with an importable version of the full 
membership list.

Vy 73 and HNY.
