[Elecraft] Paddle key setup

[Mike Geddes]

When using a paddle key, I have naturally used left (thumb) for dahs and right for dits, and set my gear up that way. I think I read during K1 build and setup that this is reverse from the "normal" setting. Also read somewere else that the dits on left and dahs on right setup evolved from use of bugs, and that if you were to go to field day and use another's rig with paddle it would most likely be setup that way.

I know this may be a subjective question . . . but is there a "standard" for this?  Is it purely personal preference?

I would be interested in your insight and opinions!
