Lets take it step by step. 1  Have a list of CW Abbreviations, Prefixes, and Q-Signals handy. Some DX stations cannot converse in English but you both can get the essentials across with Q-Signals. 2  Know how to zero beat a CW signal.

Bothwell is a fine example of Tasmania's colonial heritage with more than 50 classified buildings.
It wasn't always this way. In the early nineteenth century it was a vital link on the north-south route from Hobart to Launceston with one of Tasmania's earliest buildings and the remarkable achievement of the causeway which helped to cross the Derwent River. The causeway was completed in 1836. It did not traverse the river and so a ferry plied the deepest section of Derwent River for twenty years from 1829-49. * Near Bridgewater, at Austins Ferry, Hestercombe Chapel, the oldest Congregational Church in Australia, was built in 1833 by the Hobart merchant, Henry Hopkins.
