I tried to do it (12 years ago) but did not succeed. My Morse skills are bad enough without trying to make them any worse. My straight-key sending is not too bad if I go slowly enough, but my receiving skills have deteriorated markedly. Left-handed bowing? Hmm... In HS my daughter who is left-hand-dominant tried to learn the viola with right-hand bowing. She gave it up. She is a "leftie" by heredity - my mom, my youngest brother, and mom's three grand-daughters were all lefties. Mom was forced to function as a rightie in school back when (early in the 20th century) but did some things left-handed. Watching her I learned to eat Euro-style (fork in left hand). 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
