[CQ-Contest] QSY etiquette (NAQP)

[Dick Dievendorff]

When I move I tune quickly to see if the guy is already there so I can
answer him.  Failing that, calling CQ seems like a productive thing to do.
I want to be doing something that helps my score and I want to stay on the
agreed frequency, and I want to advertise my presence so that the guy I'm
moving with can find me, so calling CQ sounds like just the right thing to
do.

I think you did just the right thing.

Dick, K6KR

I was fooling around back in NAQP CW.  Working 40M, N2MM asked me to QSY to
15M.  OK.  I moved up to the specified freq but I did not know the
etiquette: who calls whom.  I guessed that since I was the askee then I
could have the freq, so I started calling CQ.  (It worked, sort of.  K1ZZ
came back pretty quick.  Then he worked N2MM, who was below ESP level here.)

Did I do right?  For Single OP askee, what is the proper procedure for this
"pse work me on a new band" QSY?
