Are you proficient with a straight key? You need to get your timing
perfect before you progress to a paddle. You may not like a squeeze
paddle. See for e.g. /Iambic Keying - Debunking the Myth/ by Marshall G

But I learned to send electronic key CW some 52 years ago using a
borrowed paddle and vacuum tube keyer. I was a young kid then and
hesitated to change anything, so I wound up sending with what, for me,
is a backward paddle (I am left-handed). Never changed, and can't now,
but I've always

I thought practicing timing was important when progressing from a straight
key to a bug, but to use a keyer one only has to have timing good enough not
to confuse the keyer logic.
The keyer does all the critical work of inserting the proper spaces between
code elements including, for most

I use the traditional method of dits with the thumb of my right hand. Back
in the paper logging days, I learned to send with my left hand, reversing
the two connections, so dits were still with my (left) thumb. That way I
could write with my right hand at the same time as sending my left hand -
Do what works for you, there is no 'right' answer
I strongly disagree.
The 'right' answer is - dots on the thumb, regardless of which hand is used.
When the bug was developed, it was clear that the index finger was much
more capable of sending continuing dashes than the thumb was - thence the

Push paddle right for dits and left for dahs - based on decades of using a
conventional right-handed semi-automatic key (bug).
I was a bit surprised when, a few years ago, I started hearing about people
using the reverse but it makes sense - anything so easily changed will be
changed by someone.

Wow
Left handed folks generally prefer dit on the right. Anyone have statistics on
that? Right handers use dits on the left.
However some CW ops have said in the past that they send with their left hand
and log with their right. I suppose left handed folks would do the oposite.

Both of my parents were naturally left-handed. My dad golfed and bowled as a
lefty but wrote with his right. I wish I had his penmanship.
My mom also wrote right-handed. She learned that after the good nuns in the
