IMHO, this depends on what mode you are in. If you are searching and
pouncing he already knows your call as he came back and gave you a report.
So 5nn and section is perfectly fine here. If you are running, then sending
his call and the report is pretty much sop.

I'll actually disagree with this. Sending "my call" eliminates any
confusion about who is being worked. In many situations on 160 - it is very
handy. I once got called by W8JI after 10 minutes of CQing with no answers.
I wasn't really sure he was working me or not since there were lots of
people on the band that I couldn't hear (like all of Europe).
