Too many calls versus not enough calls. Think about it.
Always call taxiing, about to depart and inbound/overflying 10 miles. If there are no other aircraft in the area, then there is no one to talk to.
If there are no calls from other aircraft, continue in silence. Continue doing circuits, no need to call downwind, base or final. Continue if you are departing, no need for any other calls.
Please don't do this.

I can count 3 times in the last week this wouldn't have worked, thankfully by making regular calls the guys at the other end heard my 2nd or 3rd call and everyone was clear.
