Gee, I think WP3R (KE3Q), KH7X (KH6ND), K5TR, WB0O, K4XS and a host of 
others would answer, "We're here."  These are just the top 5 from last 
year's phone SS, all with scores over 320K. In my 40 years in SS (so far), 
I think the competition for the top spots has never been tougher.  The fact 
that screaming has gone out of vogue doesn't mean they don't try just as hard.
