Hi Dan.

Well, it just goes to show you that we aren't all wired the same way.  For 
some reason, I find the up and down motion of a key or a keyboard for that 
matter much easier than the side to side motion of a paddle, and I just 
don't seem to have the coordination to be able to get the timing right when 
it is a side to side motion.  Go figure.  Probably, if it worked the same 
way for everybody, they would just make one sending device and everybody 
would use it.

73, de Lou K2LKK
