Mike, it's the tyranny of the majority ... left-handed scissors cost
twice as much. I equate paddling a canoe [without getting wet] and
flying a helicopter [without getting wet] to be in the same class, never
mastered either.

Well, as a ham who once tried a paddle back in the early 'sixties, then
went back to the bug, I can claim the electronic keyer in my K3 gets
very little action! I send on a bug with my left hand, but at age 16,
who knew there were left handed bugs? I learned on a right-handed bug,
and have used my bugs backwards for almost 60 years ... I only realized
I was doing it wrong after reading a QST article where the hero said
"... so I thumbed a fast five ...". Hmmmm ... he uses his thumb to send
dits? But I use my thumb to send dahs ...
In my defense, however, I will confess that I taught myself to paddle a
canoe on the right side, after having mastered the left ... just for
those very windy days, when I'm in the canoe by myself. 73 Mike VE3GFN
