    Announcing the 2nd Annual Year 2001 Coast-to-Coast FISTS Club QSO Party! This year is proving to be bigger and better than ever. We have 25 confirmed clubs participating and two more award levels available. FISTS Clubs from all over the U.S. will be on the air calling "CQ C2C" awaiting your QSO. Besides the chance to earn some really FB Certificates, for any club you have not worked before, each QSO is worth 3 points towards regular FIST Awards. Note that you do not have to be a FISTS member to participate and any FISTS points you earn can be applied towards FISTS awards when you do join.
    </p>


    Hope to cu on the air! de KS7J, Casey Bahr, Trustee FISTS Northwest, K7FFF</p>
