Perhaps a little off topic for the Elecraft list, but an interesting thread.
I am so dominantly right handed that even thinking about doing something with my left hand "feels" awkward in my mind. But a couple of years ago I wanted to learn how to use a bug. I had heard from others that switching back and forth between a bug and a paddle can be difficult so I decided to first learn how to work my paddle with my left hand (dits on the thumb). I now do all of my paddle sending at about 20 wpm with my left hand, and I can switch to a bug on my right hand, but the bug work still takes a lot of concentration. People tell me that the bug is "good copy" but they are being generous and I still have a ways to go with that. Straight key work is still on my right and the funny thing is that I still work my Palm portable paddle by holding it in my left hand and using my right. An old dog learning new tricks can be a fun challenge! 73, Paul - N8XMS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
