[Elecraft] "Standard" paddle settings?

[Doug Shields]

Hello everyone,

     I have a very basic question about CW paddle operation.  What is the
"normal" or "standard" for dot and dash positions on a paddle?  Is the dot
or dash normally on the left paddle?

     After 20 years of strictly voice operation I am getting back to CW.  I
always used a straight key in the past.  I am left handed but for some
reason I am more comfortable with the paddle at my right hand so I am
totally confused.  I want to get the dot-dash set up right so I do not have
to learn it all over again at another shack.  Thanks.
