Several years ago, as an outgrowth of a very long thread, I ran a little survey here about "handedness" and hams. It was non-scientific [people answered the survey voluntarily so the sample was self-selected]. Aside from the fact that the percentage of left-handed hams was quite a bit higher than the average for males [something I've noticed at radio club meetings too], the results suggested that hams have all manner of arrangements for their radio gear on the desk, whether they paddle left or right, how they set their paddle up, and the like that doesn't correlate much with whether they consider themselves north or southpaws. I'm a leftie, but you'd probably tell me my station is set up right-handed. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2010 Cal QSO Party 2-3 Oct 2010 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
