[Elecraft] OT: Left-handed paddles

[Thorpe, Jeffrey]

This discussion has brought to mind a question - maybe two. I'm relearning CW, and have the iambic made for the KX3. (When I first learned CW for my Novice 30 years ago, it was with a straight key. I ended up not touching Ham when I went into the Navy, and just recently got back into it.)
So, as a rightie, should I start off sending with my left? If I do, should I reverse it? Would that make it easier to swap to my right? Or, just start sending with my right? (Well, four questions.)
For copying, I do it the old-fashioned way - pen and paper, and shorthand scribble-characters. I don't want to be tied to having to use a keyboard or other device. Yeah it's slower, so what.
