Once you learn to copy in your head, then teach yourself to send with the
hand you don't write with--things go *much* faster!

When I was a novice, I learned to send right handed with a straight key
(I'm right handed). When I moved to a keyer, I taught myself left handed
instead of right handed so I could hold a pencil in one hand and send CW
with the other. I don't reverse the paddles, I just slide them over to the
left side of the OP desk. So to me, the thumb is for dah's and the finger
is for dits.
I'm sure glad I did it that way!
