Welcome to the gang.

Depends on the question whether you send the code with your right or left
hand. For right handed ops the configuration would be dits to the left
paddle and dots to the right paddle. Left handers vice versa ;-)

If you are a right hander try to learn sending the code with your left hand
(I missed that in my early years). So you can use your right hand for
writing (useful in contests etc.).
