What is SOC ?

73 de Gordon G3ZFZ (fists nr 2866)

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.

> Is this a joke?

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.

Any more questions?
