[SOC] Bug Addiction

[Joe]

Well, David, it started with contesting in the old days.  I never master 
writing with both hands, thus logging was done right handed
only, if it was going to ge readable.  I am fairly ambidextrous. But, it 
was suggested, to key with my left hand and keep the dits on
my thumb.  So, until computer logging, I kept two paddles hooked up, 
left & right handed and it allowed my right free to log with
quicker.

I found with right handed bugs, just fooling around, if I reached over 
the top, putting my thumb on the dots, I could send OK.
I had acquired a couple of lefties, but did not practice too much. Then 
I was talked out of them as I was still into keyers then.
I am rebuilding a lefty now, so when I get back, I will try and get it 
back into position.  I have seen Ray's sending videos and
he is impressive!  No, very impressive!

Yea, I barely go into the some of the Euro characters years back, let 
alone the Asian.  Time limits these days.

Now, just to get back to my shop.
