Initial call, Free call.. might have got mixed up...

Im not talking about calls on the ground, im talking about free calls..

Example.. G-CD free call MadeUp Radar on 117.2 Bye..

Scenario 1

G-ABCD: "MadeUp Radar - G-ABCD.."
MadeUp Radar "G-ABCD.. pass your message"
G-ABCD: "G-ABCD request FIS"
MadeUp Radar "Pass your details"

__________

Scenario 2
G-ABCD: "MadeUp Radar - G-ABCD request FIS"
MadeUp Radar "G-ABCD.. pass your details"

Now, you've minimilized your communication by telling him what you want on the first call. What is the point in telling him your call sign.. it only means he has to ask you what you want... POINTLESS.

If he's busy he'll say Standby and then ask you to pass your details when he's ready. If you free call with your Call Sign and he's busy he'll say Standby and then he'll further have to ask you what you want AFTER that cause you didn't tell him what you wanted in the first place..
