Excellent advice, I concur with all except that I put his call once at
the start and my call once at the end of the S&P exchange like this:

VE2FK TU 599 123 123 W6WRT

It is just some redundancy which can be useful when several stations
are calling at the same time. If everybody just sends TU 599 123 123
and they are all transmitting at once it might be hard to figure out
who you are actually working, especially if they are all sending
different serial numbers.  :-)

Good work, Claude!
