There is one thing no one has mentioned - I work a guy fairly often who can
send with either hand - he tells me he taught himself to do that so if he

Nicely phrased, Fred. The next time someone
accuses me of a senile act I'll tell them "No,
that's just my greater maturity coming through" :-)

Well Jeff,
Nearly all of this left-right thread has involved us "more mature" hams
discussing early paddle experiences, often as teens or early
20-somethings. Learning and adapting ability, particularly physically,
does tend to decline some as we accumulate birthdays.

This discussion has brought to mind a question - maybe two. I'm relearning CW,

As a rightie, I taught myself to send left handed for the very same reason -
contesting. Send with the left, write with the right. I saw an Op at my first
FD doing this and I told myself I needed to do the same. At first it was with
the key turned around but later I added a small switch to the H
Hi All,
I'm a lefty too, and I just acquiesced to the right handed setup on paddles
(and bugs) from the outset. As has been pointed out, it really makes it
easier if you go to another ham's station--usually a right handed person. I
really don't think it makes much difference which way you do
with their right hand and send with their left.
I was surprised to find that I could do it too.

Absolutely. I've done this for years if I find myself in the midst of doing
something else with the sending hand. You may have to slow down

The "handedness of a paddle is nothing more than wiring. Also, many

If you find yourself confronted with a paddle that's counter to your
"handed ness", simply turn it around 180 degrees and reach over the top to
