  REPLY:

  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!
