CW paddle trivia

[Ken G Kopp]

When confronted with briefly using a paddle wired "opposite" to your
"normal",
simply turn it around so that the paddles face away from you, reach over
the top and send "normally".

73!

Or for the K2/K3/K3S/KX3/KX2, there is a menu item that will reverse the
paddles.
Of course, if you are a guest operator at another ham's station and do
not want to change the menu, the "backwards paddles" works.

Or send with you "other" hand.
That'll work too.

My current paddle, and perhaps many others can be turned upside down and
used by a southpaw. Of course, you would want to protect the top of the
paddle, and the operating surface from any scratches that might result. I
have seen guys do this at my shack, and at FD. I have also done it when at
a friends shack and I found that turning his 'left handed' paddle around
and reaching over was really awkward. Turning it over was very natural.
