The 'fist' freq is 7058 and the Canadian ssb net is 7055 - who has been operating there the longest? No one really owns a freq and on other bands, the fist group has done the very same thing to the QRP frequencies - in existence since the early 1960's, and totally wiped them out in many cases. Especially the 3.560, 10.116, 14.060, 21.060 and 28.060. Trying to work qrp can not be done in that range when more than one or two fists with their qro signals are present. It is as if they don't care, and have never cared for qrp operations, for the most part and not being educated about the qrp frequencies by the fist organization, take no precautions to reduce the problem. And as one fist official (wz8t) pointed out, use the filter in the receiver - difficult to do if the offending station is within the passband of the filter or on top of the operating frequency. And in the past, all the fists people have managed to do is make excuses, not resolve the problems exacerbated by certain members.
