May I suggest instead of DE PD3EM PD3E just send your call three times
instead of two and eliminate the "DE". I think you'll have better results,
especially in QRM and QRN situations. 

I can't prove it's better, but it seems to me the "DE" does not add any
useful information whereas the extra call does. 

Do what you think is best. 

Hope to see you this weekend.
