If you sent 37 wpm with any straight key, you should have made a recording for the record book.

German 1st class telegraph test was for 28 wpm in both English and German sending and receiving, 23 groups per minute for alphabet ciphers.

You might get kicked out of FOC for really being first class like W9TO Jim Ricks, never good enough for FOC ;-).
