[Fists] Oddest FISTS Contact

[David Ring]

A few years back when I was working professional Morse.  I had the
oddest FISTS contact.

I happened to contact the Canadian ship "CNAV QUEST" with call sign of
"CZDO" on 12.550 MHz.

I received his weather OBS (Weather Observation) every day.

He asked me if I was a ham, and if I happened to have a FISTS number.

He gave me his FISTS number.  I just looked it up in the WM7D FISTS
look up page by entering his call sign and his FISTS number comes
back!

How cool is that?
