First QSO using a Straight Key - Decoded! Straight Key Night

From 1 January 2024, Straight Key Night. This was my first ever straight key QSO on air. Will I push through?
Using a straight key for the first time the QSO speed may vary, but I have found it to be between 12 wpm - 15 wpm.
Please enjoy as I make all the errors. Listen and learn the morse code alphabet by this fully decoded CW QSO.

You did very good .... Using a straight key speed may or will vary in the beginning but compared with a paddle and a automatic keyer ... "YOU" are in control of the dits and dah's, not the automatic one ;)
