(And, then do as I do, drop the left arm after a few seconds. IMO, the left arm is for those who don't see / hear the original call. When they see the left arm they know "that's something" even if they're not quite sure what it is.)

Yes, I agree. But most folks recognize a loud vocal more easily than a silent fist, but both is certainly not bad.

Is the "proper" FED mechanic *just* the fist (no vocal)? I thought it was both, but I don't get the official FED mechanics book.

It is both per 8-3-2.
