If you re-read my post, you'll see I suggested you call after you've made a safe landing. Can't see why anyone would want to contact them first, unless they want an audience.
Just to make it clear, I'd only make the call if I thought those on the ground might report my safe landing as a crash. I seem generally to pick fields in such remote areas that it's usually 20 mins before any passer by appears, if then.
