[CW] Learning hints

[Michiel Wories]

Hi Kate, Art, Ron, and David,

Thank you all for your suggestions and help. This helps me believe that I 
should be able to make it (although I am sometimes wonder whether I am not 
making my life too hard by learning at 20 WPM char speed : )

Hope to find you on the air soon!

Michiel
