Dash 8's do cruise below A100 on some short sectors. If this is the case, it is usually OCTA and I consider it relevant to include the planned altitude in the call on the CTAF.
For those of you who are so against the use of "climbing to flight levels", then complain to the airline. It's been in the manual for as long as I've known, but some of you out there seem to know better.
At least the Qlink guys and gals use the radio. Trying to get a call out of some of the lighties is like getting blood out of stone. It's almost as if they are offended if their position and intentions are requested. We are not mind readers people
