[Elecraft] Learning Morse Code is Like Learning to Dance

[Mel Farrer via Elecraft]

Well, in the four grade my Italian teacher would come down on my left hand with her 18" ruler every time I used my left hand.  So by the time I got to 8th grade I could write my name equally poor with either hand.  AS the result, I can send on a bug with either hand........... Some can recognize my code sending, but only when I use my left hand.  BTW,  I taught code at Fort Gordon, GA.  Signal 

School.  It was VERY interesting to see the problems some had and with my background we were able to get most of them through the course.

I'm left-handed and I can square dance, but only because some guy up on 
the stage is telling me exactly what to do next.  I also can't sing, 
however I can paddle CW with either hand and often do.  My wife is 
right-handed and has yet to thoroughly master the concept of "right" vs 
"left."
