[Elecraft] OT: Left-handed paddles

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Curiously, you may find that you can send with the "wrong" hand by reversing 
the dot/dash, or as suggested, by backing up to the keyer and reaching 
behind yourself.

In the "olden" days when we logged with a pencil, the CW hot-shots would do 
just that.  They'd log with their right hand and send with their left.

I was surprised to find that I could do it too.
