[CW] Morse Lessons from FAV22

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

The French station FAV22 has been broadcasting CW lessons since 1934. It
survived budget cuts, the cessation of CW transmissions etc., long may it
continue. This used to be my main training resource while learning CW in
1984. I still enjoy listening to these transmissions from time to time to
take a trip down to memory lane.
