Training course: Faucet - not receiving funds to node

The node is running and connect as i can see new blocks on the chain.

[ec2-user@ip-xxx.xx.xx.36 keysandaddresses] cardano-cli shelley query tip --testnet-magic 1097911063 { "blockNo": 1809854, "headerHash": "38ee7862496aca7ca4d858b1d8bb182d02e2300b794f9a47d5d4395e42aa5996", "slotNo": 5914693 } [ec2-user@ip-xxx-xx-xx-36 keysandaddresses] cardano-cli shelley query tip --testnet-magic 1097911063
{
“blockNo”: 1809907,
“headerHash”: “1c6c6a96f1c834160b0023c232a3e9455bef937a8566dd33cc633e55ae2a49a9”,
“slotNo”: 5915857
}
[ec2-user@ip-xxx-xx-xx-36 keysandaddresses]$

I have used the faucet with my key and verified the key beforehand but no funds turn up. Did I use the key correctly? I used the whole string. Was i meant to strip the addr_test1 at the beginning (addr_test1vzwj59q3ep3d9suh50e5hyhzm378dfq02572ewfxk6vhhtqrkt9ah).

Thanks in advance
Richard.
