Hi, Chris, 

Simulated QSOs are great for practicing copying. What I'm looking for is a
way to generate sentences or words using only the characters I've learned
so far so that I can practice sending. I've found that sending is a nice
adjunct to copying to learn Morse code, and I've also found that being
able to identify transmitted characters isn't carrying over into
sending. I draw too many blanks on characters I "know" when receiving. So
I'm trying to practice sending, using the characters I've learned by
copying. Having 10 or 20 thousand words to practice copying isn't the
issue. It's sending words that are made up of the characters I know.

It's very nice to have you make the offer.
