Well, as a ham who once tried a paddle back in the early 'sixties, 
then went back to the bug, I can claim the electronic keyer in my K3 
gets very little action!  I send on a bug with my left hand, but at 
age 16, who knew there were left handed bugs? I learned on a 
right-handed bug, and have used my bugs backwards for almost 60 years 
... I only realized I was doing it wrong after reading a QST article 
where the hero said "... so I thumbed a fast five ...".  Hmmmm ... he 
uses his thumb to send dits? But I use my thumb to send dahs ...

In my defense, however, I will confess that I taught myself to paddle 
a canoe on the right side, after having mastered the left ... just 
for those very windy days, when I'm in the canoe by myself.  73 Mike VE3GFN
