I send backwards. When I built my first keyer, I had it in my head that the thumb (thick, heavy) was used to send dashes. As soon as my Heath keyer was done I discovered my mistake in logic but it was too late. I had already begun to train my brain by sending "air morse" and the thumb was tied to dashes.
My solution was very simple. I send left handed using a right-handed paddle. If I operate someone else's station, I just slide the bug to the left and away we go, no rewiring or changing menu settings. It also allows me to keep the pen in the right hand for logging & such. I've since learned to send with a bug which I do right handed. That way, my bug technique and my paddle technique don't get confused in the same hand. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
