WORKING CW DX - Some new comers may not know how to work CW with DX stations. Usually we seldom ragchew but continue with the standard common procedures. Say it starts when we are answering the CQ call.

GL stands for good luck, GB for good bye. GM and GE means good morning or good evening. TKS or TNX is for thank you. DR is not for doctor but dear.
Because you are new then keep your contact short. After working with 50 or 60 stations many of those terms used become more familiar. Even if they increase their speed you would still be able to read them. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR CW DXING.
