Study is far less fatiguing when you can break up each day’s effort into a number of short stints. Not so easy, that breaking up, when it ties you to a computer. Here’s my solution: archives of *.mp3 files for loading into a portable player or smartphone. Whole novels rendered into Morse code. In each, the speed very slowly increases. Plural languages offered: English, Esperanto, German, Italian, and Spanish. Those plus also the software I coded for to generating the MP3 files. All free, no strings= attached.

May I suggest using this smartphone app: Smart Audiobook Player available on Google Play. That app has many features. You can even change playback speed without affecting the tone. There is even a sleep timer.

Chessie | Moore Dog |work|

These dogs were bred with local area hounds, Irish Water Spaniels, and Flat-Coated Retrievers.

Trained in basic commands, the dog responds well to clear, friendly cues and rewards—treats and praise work especially well. Outdoors, it enjoys sniffing new corners, chasing leaves, and exploring nearby parks, though it’s quick to return when called. Inside the home, the dog settles into routines: a sunny spot for naps, a favorite chew toy, and a predictable dinner schedule.

Whether you are looking into the breed for fieldwork, active companionship, or to understand the lineage of a specific family dog like a Moore family pet, understanding the specialized nature of the Chessie is essential. Below is a comprehensive overview of the history, characteristics, training needs, and care requirements of this historic American retriever. ⚓ The Legendary Origin of the Chessie

When evaluating any breeder—whether searching for a purebred Chesapeake Bay Retriever or another family companion—it is crucial to cross-reference their facilities with high ethical standards. Green Flags of a Reputable Breeder chessie moore dog

Brush them once a week with a rubber curry brush to manage shedding.

, a rugged, highly intelligent, and deeply loyal American gundog breed developed in the 19th century. While the specific phrase "Chessie Moore dog" sometimes surfaces due to overlapping internet searches or specific working lines, the core subject is the Chesapeake Bay Retriever , renowned for its waterproof coat, intense work ethic, and fierce devotion to its family. These dogs were bred with local area hounds,

If you are looking for information on a "Chessie" dog generally, it often refers to the Chesapeake Bay Retriever

Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are a large, active breed and require a high-quality diet to fuel their energy levels. They are also prone to becoming overweight if overfed or under-exercised, so portion control is important. Furthermore, they can be susceptible to bloat, a life-threatening stomach condition. To minimize the risk, it is recommended to feed them two or three smaller meals per day rather than one large meal and to avoid vigorous exercise right after eating.

The , more formally known as the Chesapeake Bay Retriever , is a powerful, intelligent, and fiercely loyal breed with a rich, rugged history. As one of the few truly American-bred retriever breeds, the "Chessie" is far more than just a hunting companion; they are hardy, multi-talented dogs known for their distinctive coat and unwavering dedication to their families. Inside the home, the dog settles into routines:

Interestingly, search volume for spikes in Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas—exactly where the Chesapeake Bay Retriever is the state dog (Maryland’s state dog, in fact).

The Chessie's famous waterproof coat is surprisingly low-maintenance. A weekly brushing with a firm bristle brush is usually enough to remove loose hair and keep the coat in good condition. One of the most important grooming rules for a Chessie is to . Bathing removes the natural oils from the coat, which are essential for its water resistance and protective qualities. The breed sheds a moderate amount, with heavier shedding occurring seasonally.

Accuracy Over Speed

The one-time professional CW operators copied everything down. Sparks aboard ships, telegraphers for Western Union, these all copied message traffic by typing onto a mill (a special, all-caps typewriter). At the US Navy school for radiomen, all sat down from day one before a mill. Reading by ear faster than one could type, while helpful, was never the primary goal.

Note that still to this day the FCC administers a commercial radiotelphone license for which you can test (as I have done). The Morse requirement is random code groups at 16 wpm and message traffic text at 20 wpm. Let accuracy over speed be your own as well.

I surmise that the slang term head copy can only have evolved from newly baked hams being unaware that the correct term is read. Reading code is done by ear, while copying code means to make a verbatim copy. Saying head copy therefor implies perfect recall. Find those distinctions clearly defined in professional training manuals both civilian and military. So then, read and copy. Plain and simple single-word terms. Those versus head copy and solid copy. Yes, it’s only a hobby. But even so... Each decade seems to narrow the difference between our amateur radio and “Get yer ears on, good buddy.” How nice it would be see even a small reversal in that trend. Correct use of terms seems to me the easiest thing.

Morse Code File Generator

Most other Morse code generator programs available on the Internet run on Java and play through the MIDI device of a sound card. Mine is different. It runs on Perl and works by reading instructions and/or plain text in from a *.txt file. On Linux and Windows both it can generate either *.wav or *.mp3 . Nearly all players can handle both formats.

On Unix/Linux/BSD/OS X

Download:

 Perl     POD   Perl source code & documentation

Change file extension from *.pl.txt to *.pl. Adjust the path in the shebang line as apporpriate for your own distro. I have it set for Ubuntu Linux. Your’s might be different. You very likely already have Perl, but in addition need to acquire these two extra modules for Perl: Audio::Wav and Time:HiRes. Get those in the usuall way from CPAN, pkgsrc, or wherever. Read the POD to learn all the features. Also you'll want to be sure LAME is installed (unless you want only *.wav and not *.mp3 output).

On Windows

Download:

 ZIP  Perl source code, documentation, & *.exe versions

First, here’s the easy-peasy way. The ZIP archive contains two stand-alone 64-bit *.exe files: gus_jumble_words.exe and gus_morse.exe, which are simplified, one-click versions that ask questions rather than take their arguments on the command line. Now generates either *.wav or *.mp3 the same as when running on Linux. Source code in Perl is likewise included.

Practice Text Generator

Here is a Perl script to generate *.txt files for Morse code practice programs. Use it with my own audio file generator script above, or with any other. It creates a file of jumbled words taken at random from lists of more than 85,000. The word lists derive from an on-line dictionary for the word game Scrabble. Words containing high-score letters: Z, J, Q, and so forth. Lists for only that half of the whole alphabet. The not-so-rare letters turn up regardless. So then, more balanced practice.

And since Morse code is not just letters alone, the program stirs these into the mix: punctuation (1:5), number groups (1:7), reverse-spelled words (1:11), and random gobbledegook (1:19) to keep you alert. Those ratios are the default. You can override them with switches. Feed the resulting *.txt file into my gus_morse.pl script with an embedded, top-line instruction of...

*wpm=25*​*farn=13*​*lang=en*​*incr=0.0*​*decr=0.09*​*codec=mp3*​*about=0*​*mins=10*

...and you’ll get about one hundred 10-minute *.wav or *.mp3 files of 25-wpm characters with 13-wpm spacing to start and slowly increasing to about 22-wpm spacing. Takes quite a while for so many. If your PC is slow, leave it run overnight. Then put the whole lot into your MP3 player, turn off shuffle and listen to them sequentialy.

Note that the word-jumble algorithm is random. Re-run it again to generate a new file of mostly different words, jumbled differently. Don’t be surprised at any word which might turn up. Sailor-words are legal in Scrabble, so it would appear. Likewise the names of seldom-mentioned body parts. Only one of those words (and its derivatives) did I bother editing out from those lists.

Smart Phones

I nowadays mostly listen to audiobooks on a Samsung Galaxy S20. The app I employ is named Smart Audiobook Player, installed by way of Google Play. It works for all manner of MP3 audiobooks in addition to playing my MP3 practice files. All, that is, save Audible, which files are encrypted and work only with the proprietary Audible app.

MP3 Players

I have owned several MP3 players, both cheapos and super nice. My program tailors audio files to work on both. My cheapest is a Sandisk Sansa Sport/Clip player, a tiny thing with an itsy bitsy screen. To support the Sansa I set the genre tag to ‘Audiobook’ per the Sandisk website instruction (even though it isn’t a proper ID3 tag). I likewise set the album tag. That is so the Sansa will group them. As of August 2018, the script now automatically groups files into sub-directories of the Sansa's 128-file maximum. Hopefully that is also good enough for other players.

My better player is Cowon iAudio 10. For audiobooks to work on that one I don’t have to do anything special. I mention it however because of a most useful feature. The Cowon lets me vary the playback speed while at the same time compensating for tone. Thus I can reduce or speed up a particular CW audio file while still retaining the 750 or 800 Hz that I’m used to hearing. So if it’s unavoidable to skip a day in my CW speed-gain practice, or if I’m tired or for whatever excuse, I don’t have to back up to an earlier file. I can keep going from where I left off. Handy when it’s a story downloaded from the Gutenberg project or cut-and-paste copied from out of an ebook. In fact, that feature is excellent too for listening to a regular narrated audiobook under conditions of noise or when my attention needs to be focused mainly elsewhere. Like when driving. Just thought I’d mention in case you were shopping.

One feature which the iAudio 10 regretably lacks (and is the main reason why I bought the Sansa) is an external hardware button for pasusing playback. Instead you have to activate and cue the menu. Very annoying when I need to pause in a hurry, like when restaurant wait staff has come to take my order.

Other CW Study Aids

If my system doesn’t suit your taste, here is a list of alternative providers. Maybe one of theirs you’ll like better.
