Yes, Rick, so it seems from the photos that appear on contesting.com. 
But  . . .

I was privileged to sit next to K1SE at K4JA's QTH some time ago during a 
CW contest and I listened with a second set of headphones as he picked out 
of the noise signals I could barely hear and turned them into a legitimate 
QSO using his ears only. Then he'd use a paddle to confirm, even though he 
had a keyboard in front of him. What skill!

I loved it.
