Well, I am right handed, I learned to send CW with right hand (and "reversed" 
dot-dit) and "learned" my left hand to be the main tuning hand. Also made 
sense with paper logging back then. Now using keyboard it should not matter 
much, but 40+ years of tuning with mainly left hand got engraved in my brain 
and I am not going to "relearned" it now. I drive one handed with left hand 
on steering wheel (habit from days when I held my right hand with my xYL's 
left hand :-) So it is what you got used to. It is subconscious acquired 
skill and it has its "burned in" connections in the brain.
