Straight key in use .....

It is time to learn some telegraphy using straight key! My morse key is dual .... paddle and straight key made in by KENT. All the time I was using paddle ... now after visiting Titanic museum I`ve got fascinated straight morse key.

And for first I was trying to call some CQ CQ .... I had two QSOs on 20m using straight  key .... it was hard. Much harder for me that paddle. I need to get more practice with straight key! But I must say I like it.

Here is my CQ CQ .... I was calling QRP just to have a look how my signal will be decoded by Reverse Beacons and .... not bad for first time :)
