Hi Howard,
I run a Sunday 2 meter club net here in the Chicago area. I am a leftie -
I read Braille with my righbt hand. The mike stays in the left while I
read the preamble. I keep the Perkins on my lap. We use a roll call - I
have that on index cards with a card break between letters. That makes
maintaining the roll call easy to update. As I call people, I put down the
mike as I am listening, freeing my extra hand for the brailler. I've
worked this way for a number of years. At one time the net call in level
was near 100 stations. That has dropped to half over the years, but always
went pretty well. Do it a time or two and you will work out your own
shortcuts.
Good luck and enjoy.
