CW sending

[greenacres113-2]

        I'm a Lefty. When I got my 1st electronic keyer & key I learned with
the key set for a Righty. That was over 40 yr.s ago. It is very handy.
When I share CW duties in contests or Field Day all that's needed is
to move the key to the left or right side of the operating position.
No re-wiring or set up. I receive better than I send but I can send
clean CW at 30+ WPM.

        In life we Lefties have to overcome lots of things designed for
Righties! You just adapt.

I had rotator cuff and bicep surgery and did learn cw with my left hand.  While not as proficient as my right it did get me by.  I used the same “assignments” as the right hand has.
Worked out well.

I've seen hams at a public display of ham radio just turn the paddles upside
down if they are either left-handed or prefer the dot and dash paddle around
the other way.

I have not had surgery but lots of rehab.  I am planning on using a Macro on the K-POD to switch and use two different keys for right and left hand.  Has anyone written a macro to do this? If not I will do my own.
